BURLINGTON, Vt. – Graduate student Dan Schaffer won two events while Emily Mackay broke a meet record, highlighting Binghamton's performance during the second and final day of the America East Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which were hosted by the University of Vermont. The Bearcat men were third out of nine teams while the women's squad placed fourth overall.

"It was a great team effort for both the men and women this weekend," head coach Mike Thompson said. "We performed well in all events and are thrilled with the outcome."

Schaffer won the men's 1,500 for the third year in a row, clocking a time of 4:01.13. He then anchored the first-place men's 4x800 relay team, which also included redshirt freshman Sean Ryan as well as juniors Mark Scanlon and Cian Galligan.

For his career, Schaffer now has five individual America East track & field titles and has anchored three first-place relay teams.

Mackay, meanwhile, won the women's 800 with a time of 2:06.46. The four-time All-American broke conference record of 2:07.01, which was set by Yolanda Nagarambe of Vermont back in 2014.

For her career, Mackay now has three individual conference track & field titles. She has also anchored three first-place relay teams. 

Binghamton's fourth and final champion during the weekend was sophomore Nick Malfitano, who captured the men's decathlon with a score of 6,265 points. He is the first Bearcat to win that event at the America East meet since Troy Zanger in 2018.

Elsewhere on the men's side, junior Marcrene Jeannot was third in the triple jump (48-11 3/4) while graduate student Evan Tuthill was third in the shot put (51-11).

Other top three finishers on the women's side included, sophomore Jenna Chan, who was the runner up in the women's 110 hurdles (14.06) and graduate student Brittany Korsah, who was second in the triple jump (41-8 ½).

All-conference honors were awarded to the top three finishers in an individual event as well as all first-place relay teams. Binghamton posted 10 men's all-conference selections as well as five women's honorees.

Albany swept both the men's and women's team titles. On the men's side, the Great Danes finished with 235 points compared to runner-up UMass Lowell with 1995 points. Binghamton was third with 112 points. In the women's competition, Albany posted 246 points, followed by UMass Lowell (129), UMBC 126 and the Bearcats (99).

Binghamton heads to the ECAC/IC4A Championships, which will be hosted by William & Mary next Friday-Sunday.
