SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The SUNYAC honors Ezra Ruggles from Geneseo and Shevaughn Allen from Buffalo State as the Men's Outdoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week respectively.

Ruggles competed against Division I competition at Bucknell this past weekend, and took second place in the steeplechase with a time of 8:58.86. His time set a new program record and moved him into third overall in Division III.

Allen had a record-breaking performance at the Bucknell University Bison Outdoor Classic over the weekend. The junior broke the Buffalo State and SUNYAC records in the long jump on Saturday afternoon with a mark of 7.52 meters, which is currently the second-best mark in the country. The previous school and conference record was set by Buffalo State's Bob Jones at 7.43 meters, and had stood since 1982. Allen also won the triple jump event with the top mark in the country at 15.66 meters. His second-best jump in the event would have also been the top mark in the country this season.
