York senior Ben Edwards and freshman Greg Gray were three time gold medalists and led the Spartans to the 2011 CAC Men's Track & Field Championship - the first for the Spartans in 20 years.

York ended the two-day event, which was suspended Saturday due to lightning, with 160 points.  Defending champion Salisbury placed second with 142, followed by Mary Washington (133.33), Frostburg State (100.33), Hood (37.33), Wesley (29) and Stevenson (16). 

It was York's third CAC men's track & field championship, and the first since 1992.  The Spartans won the team title in the first two years of CAC competition (1991 and '92). 

It was the first time in CAC history that seven teams competed in the men's track & field championship.

Edwards won the 110 hurdles, 400 hurdles and was a member of the victorious 4x400-meter relay team.  Gray captured top honors in the long jump and ran the first leg of both the 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams.

Other golf medalists for the Spartans included freshman Tim Hartung in the 10,000-meter run and Zak Kriesmer in the pole vault.

Three other competitors joined Edwards and Gray as multi-event winners.  Frostburg State's Chauncey Manson won the 100 and 200 dashes, Salisbury's Chris Bernard won the Steeplechase and 5,000 and Sea Gull teammate Jay Drenner won the hammer and shot put.

Salisbury also gained first-place performances from Corey Blain in the high jump and Matt McMurdo in the javelin.

Frostburg State, in its first year as a CAC member, picked up four first-place awards.  In addition to Manson's wins in the sprints, Charles Jacobs won the 800 and Andre Arthur won the discus.

Mary Washington captured two gold medals as Scott Plunkett won the 1,500 and Nathaniel Saint-Preux took top honors in the triple jump.

Stevenson, a first-year program and competing in the CAC championship for the first time, picked up first-place points by Robert Watley in the 400.
