NEW HAVEN, Conn. - - For the second week in a row, Wilmington University track and field student-athlete Julian Jones has been named a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Track Athlete of the Week after two performances at the Millersville Metrics last week.

Julian Jones (Elkton, Md.) was named a Co-Track Athlete of the Week with Goldey-Beacom's Jalen Wright. The Wildcats also placed Christian Dollard, Julian Rich, Aejana Robinson, and Makeda Lynch on this week's Weekly Honor Roll for their efforts in Millersville as well.

Julian Jones set new school marks in the 1500-meter and 10,000-meter events, helping the men to a 4th place finish out of 17 teams with 80 points.

On Friday, Jones and the Wildcats competed in the 10,000-meter event, as Jones won the event by nearly five minutes, setting a school record time of 31:51.72. He surpasses the mark set by Trent Taylor in 2024. The mark is also the 87th best time in the NCAA DII outdoor season so far this year.

Jones then came back on Saturday to compete in the 1500-meter race, winning the event while setting another school record. He beat 32 other runners with a time of 4:00.01, over eight seconds faster than the second-place finisher. He took over the mark set by Daniel Wyshinski from 2023. He had 20 of the teams 80 points in two events.

Julian Jones is now at the top of the CACC performance lists in both events.

Christian Dollard moved into fourth in the CACC this season in both the discuss and hammer throws, finishing among the top six in both at the Millersville Metrics. Julian Rich set a new PR in the 1500 meters and took silver in the 3000-meter steeplechase to earn a spot on the Weekly Honor Roll.

Makeda Lynch finished third in the 100-meter hurdles and sixth in the long jump last weekend while Aejana Robinson finished fourth in the shot put to earn a spot on the Weekly Honor Roll as well.

The Wildcats stay local again this week, competing at the Delaware Invitational at the University of Delaware on Thursday and Friday.
