EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. (April 21, 2019) – The SUNY Delhi track and field team made a visit Saturday to the East Stroudsburg All-American Meet. Jumper Alex Irving delivered arguably the Broncos' biggest highlight of the day, setting a new career best and AARTFC qualifying mark in the triple jump. Though the Binghamton, NY native accomplished both feats on his first attempt alone at 13.51m, Irving was not yet satisfied, moving his mark up even more on his third and final jump at 13.84m to place second in the event.

Making additional PR marks for the Broncos included Owen Sleasman, who took seventh in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.52. Shamar Barker placed eighth in the 200-meter dash with a new best of 23.27. Glenn Butler Jr. logged a career best in the 200 meters, placing tenth at 23.46, as well as the 110-meter hurdles, taking 11th at 19.12.

Head coach Robb Munro's squad is about to embark on a championship week. Delhi is prepared to make a visit to Penn Relays this Thursday and Friday prior to competing at the NAC/GNAC/NECC Championships at Regis College on Saturday and Sunday.
