VILLANOVA, Pa. – The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) has announced its 2022 Track and Field End of Year Award winners. Awards include All-CSAC (First-Team, Second-Team and Honorable Mention) as well as Coach of the Year in both men's and women's track and field and 3-D Award.

Athletes earned All-CSAC based on their finish at the 2022 CSAC Track and Field Championship, May 7-8 at Alfred State College. 

On the women's side, Penn State Behrend's Ivy Laffan was named CSAC Track Athlete of the Year, securing victories in the 100m, 200m and 400m. She also played a role in clinching gold in the 4x100m and 4x400m relay.

Alfred State's Emma Taggart had a very impressive outing and was honored as the CSAC Field Performer of the Year. Taggart won the 100-meter hurdles in 16.08, placed 2^nd in high jump with a height of 1.50m, placed 2^nd in long jump in 4.99m, and placed 2^nd in shot put with a distance of 10.79m.

The men saw an outstanding performance from Gallaudet's Eric Gregory. Gregory, who was named the CSAC Track Performer of the Year, smashed the all-time NCAA Division III record in the 200-meter dash as he won the event in 20.62 seconds with +1.4 wind. The time is the fastest ever by a Deaf individual, the time also sets a new CSAC record and Gallaudet school record. Gregory's previous school record was 21.24 set last month at the VertKlasse Meeting in High Point, N.C., on April 2, 2022. 

Alfred State's Dylan Perlino won shot put with a season best 14.27m, an All-Atlantic Regional Qualifying Throw, and also captured the discus and hammer throw. For his efforts, he was named the Field Performer of the Year. 

PSU-Behrend head coach Greg Cooper was named the Men's Coach of the Year, while Alfred State's Tim Giagios was named the Women's Coach of the Year. Gallaudet University was the recipent of the 3-D award on both sides.
