Caroline Chung competed in section five of the same event and she finished third out of seven participants at a time of 1:06.43.

The Lehman College athletic department announced today that former standout student-athlete and two-time All-American Pete Charles has been an Assistant Coach for the Lehman College cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field teams. The addition of Charles to Head Coach Lesleigh Hogg’s coaching staff will have a tremendous impact on the development and progression of all of Coach Hogg’s student-athletes in the upcoming academic year.

“Pete Charles is an individual who sacrificed a lot and worked extremely hard to accomplish the things he did while competing at Lehman College, and now he has an opportunity to further his legacy here at the college by guiding and providing knowledge to our student-athletes of six teams here in 2009-2010,” Hogg said. “He knows what it takes to win and how important preparation and practice are. I am very glad that he has joined our staff.”
