It was another star-spangled weekend for Widener's track and field teams, which excelled at the Middle Atlantic Conference Outdoor Championships in Elizabethtown, PA.

Freshman Tim Malloy (Langhorne, PA), the men's MAC Indoor Rookie of the Meet, added MAC Outdoor Rookie of the Meet and co-Field Athlete of the Meet to his resume. He won the high jump at 1.98 meters, the triple jump by clearing 13.84 meters and the 110-meter hurdles in 15.22 seconds.

Junior James Green (Lansdale, PA), last spring's Field Athlete of the Meet, repeated as shot put champion by tossing 15.50 meters to break the track record and provisionally qualify for the NCAA Championships. He also won the javelin throw at 58.94 meters, also a "B" mark for the NCAA Championships.

The men's 4x100 meter relay team was victorious in 43.07 seconds. The squad consisted of senior Tom Creighton (Springfield, PA), junior Bernard Innocent (Fairfax, VA), sophomore Robert Innocent (Fairfax, VA) and freshman Emmauel Rupert (Baltimore, MD).

The men ended fourth with 130 points. Elizabethtown won the title with 170 points.

Junior Nikita Halteman (Hatfield, PA) duplicated her shot put triumph from the indoor championships by winning with a toss of 11.87 meters. Freshman Brooke McDonald (Drexel Hill, PA) captured the pole vault with a leap of 3.20 meters.

The women closed sixth with 64 points.
