Cross Country and Track & Field

📣A message from the Cross Country and Track & Field Coaches ~

"Giving Day + March Mania is a powerful moment for our program — and your support makes a real difference.

Alumni contributions directly impact the daily experience of our student-athletes: upgrading essential equipment, enhancing our facilities, expanding competitive opportunities, and strengthening our coaching and performance staff. These investments elevate recruiting, deepen our roster, and position us to compete at the highest level in the Patriot League and beyond. Our continued advancement to the NCAA First Round is a direct reflection of the belief, generosity, and commitment of our alumni community.

Thank you for raising the standard and continuing to push Lehigh Cross Country and Track & Field forward."

💰Your gift supports -

The University provided operating budget allows us to field a team and function as a varsity sport within the Patriot League. However, in order to consistently compete for championships, we rely on incremental financial support from alumni and friends. Donations to Lehigh Cross Country and Track & Field go directly to supporting our operating budget, and are used to augment recruiting, travel, out-of-season scheduling, and equipment & gear costs that exceed the university budget allotment. Additionally, donations also help us meet our own unique annual fundraising priorities that, when provided, enhance our chances of competitive success and deliver an even more memorable student-athlete experience.
