The 800-meter run has been one of the most longstanding records in conference history with former two-time national champion Carsyn Koch (Johnson) reigning from Cedarville.
At the GVSU Big Meet on Friday, Lehotay clocked a 2:09.74 to remain the only other name besides Koch-Johnson in the conference record books.
The senior actually bumped herself out from the No. 10 slot that she recorded at last year’s GVSU Big Meet. On Saturday, the Walsh distance medley relay team also ran the fifth fastest time in conference history at 11:37.68.
She finished fifth overall and Lehotay now ranks seventh in Division II in the 800-meter run while three runners above her in the last also competed at the GVSU Big Meet. The Cavaliers DMR team also ranks fourth in the country, only behind GVSU, Colorado State-Pueblo and Simon Fraser.
Lehotay earned back-to-back conference track athlete of the week recognition after starring in the mile her last time out at the Akron Invitational.
