FAIRFAX, Va. – The University of Delaware track & field team headed back to Virginia May 13-14 to compete at the ECAC Outdoor Championships, hosted by George Mason University. Head coach Kenyetta Iyevbele took her three Blue Hen athletes, Myrissa McFolling-Young, Sarah Daniels and Marie-Frederique Poulin, in hopes of improving their times/mark to qualify for the upcoming NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships First Rounds.

McFolling-Young opened the Blue Hens day on Saturday in the shot put, where she threw for 14.59m (fourth place).

Daniels found herself improving on her 3000m steeplechase time by running a new personal-best time of 10:34.74 to capture the gold medal, concluding Saturday's outing.

Poulin closed out the Blue Hens showing on Sunday in the 400m hurdles by claiming the gold medal with a time of 59.07.

The trio racked up 25 points for the Blue Hens to finish tied for 15th place.
