Amber Barrios turns passion into mentorship as Lehigh track captain
Senior captain Amber Barrios parlayed early speed into collegiate leadership.
Senior Amber Barrios, captain of Lehigh’s track and field team, first had her speed noticed during an elementary school field day when a gym teacher singled her out. She didn’t envision competing in college until a Lehigh coach handed her a business card as a high school junior, and she has since channeled that journey into leadership and mentorship for her teammates.
