  As part of the In-Orbit Checkout activities for the Spitzer Space Telescope,
the IRAC team carried out a deep observation (average integration time ~8
hours) of a field surrounding the bright QSO HS 1700+6416. This field contains
several hundred z~3 Lyman-break galaxy candidates, and we report here on their
mid-infrared properties, including the IRAC detection rate, flux densities and
colors, and the results of fitting population synthesis models to the optical,
near-infrared, and IRAC magnitudes. The results of the model-fitting show that
previous optical/near-infrared studies of LBGs were not missing large, hidden
old stellar populations. The LBG candidates' properties are consistent with
those of massive, star-forming galaxies at z~3. Other IRAC sources in the same
field have similar properties, so IRAC selection may prove a promising method
of finding additional high-redshift galaxies.
