LATHAM, N.Y. – First-year Pierson Hogue (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) grabbed two major United East Conference Outdoor Track & Field awards following the conclusion of United East Championships on May 3-4. Additionally, 10 Seahawks earned a spot on the All-United East teams.
 
Hogue brought home both the United East Track Athlete and Rookie of the Year awards after tallying 32 points behind four Top 3 finishes. The 6-0 distance runner claimed the gold and First Team All-United East honors in the 800m in 2:02.60 while taking second in the 10,000m (37:43.18) and the 1500m with a personal-best 4:16.75 for a Second Team award.

He also took top honors in the 110m hurdles for a second First Team award, posting a 15.86. Haylock's other two all-league awards came in the 4x100m and 4x400m relays, which both picked up Second Team honors.
 
First-year Moses McRae (Philadelphia, Pa./Kents Hill (Maine)) crossed the finish line first in the 400m with a personal-best 50.89 for First Team All-United East while tallying Second Team honors as a member of the second place 4x400m relay.

Sophomore captain Collin Fitzgerald (Annapolis, Md./Broadneck) notched three all-conference awards, including two Second Team honors with a pair of second-place finishes in the 200m (22.75) and the 4x100m relay. Fitzgerald finished third in the 100m as well in 11.27 for Third Team All-United East.
