[quote quote=31396]Yes, I was referring only to outdoors. Lucas already announced in an interview a few days ago that he will be returning to compete next season.

You can fast forward to the 5:00 mark if you want.

The amazing thing about Lucas is that his claim to fame prior to Lehigh was finishing 15th in his District in HS. Now he is 10th in the nation.

Has he said he is definitely returning to Lehigh? His quote doesn’t say anything about competing for Lehigh next year – only that he is going to be throwing the shot next year. But that could mean for a club or some other graduate program. If he is returning, the LU coach and SID people apparently are not aware of it:

“The All-American performance caps what has been a tremendous and accolade-filled Lehigh career.”

“Knowing this was the culmination of his career, and getting that close to getting three more throws and extending your season at the highest possible as a collegian,” “said head coach Matt Utesch.

“Warning finishes his Lehigh career holding the top 12 indoor and top four outdoor shot puts in school history.”
