It was another strong campaign for the Dutchmen as the team earned numerous medals, accolades, and turned in a handful of record-breaking efforts. Olivia Jendrzejewski had the best season of her career, wining a silver medal as the national runner-up in the high jump at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships. She posted a top mark of 1.72 meters and she is LVC's first men's or women's indoor jumper to earn NCAA All-America honors. Distance runner Kelsey Patrick managed to take home a gold medal on day one of the MAC Championships by winning the conference title in the 5,000-meter run.

A member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III, American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA), Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC), and Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC), Lebanon Valley College offers 24 sports.
