LATHAM, N.Y. – Nicholas Haylock (Odenton, Md./Meade) and
Korey Blair (Baltimore, Md./Overlea) of the St. Mary's College of Maryland men's outdoor track & field team were selected as the United East Conference Men's Outdoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week, respectively, as announced by the league office Tuesday morning (April 7).
This is Haylock's second outdoor track athlete of the week award while Blair is picking up his first-ever weekly honor. Both put record performances at the Dalton Ebanks Invitational hosted by George Mason University (April 3-4).
Haylock posted the school record in the 400m hurdles with a season-best 56.29 for 13th place, beating his own record of 57.68 from May 4, 2025. He anchored the 12th-place 4x100m relay which clocked a season-best 43.28. The 6-1 senior also added a 44th-place finish in the 100m dash in 11.24.
Haylock's time in the 400m hurdles currently sits eighth in the Division III Mid-Atlantic region and first in the United East while his time in the 100m dash ranks 47th in the region and second in the conference. The time posted by the 4x100m relay comes in at 12th in the Mid-Atlantic and first in the league.
Blair put up two school record performances and qualified for the 2026 All-Atlantic Region Track & Field Conference Outdoor Championships (May 13-14) in the high jump.
Blair captured the high jump with a school record 1.95m, besting seven Division I athletes from Coppin State University, Duquesne University, George Mason, Sacred Heart University as well as four Division III athletes from Johns Hopkins University and Salisbury University. He broke the five-year old St. Mary's College record of 1.78m set by
Alex Behzadi '24 on April 10, 2021.
Blair also picked up the school record in the long jump with a personal-best 6.65m to finish seventh. The 6-3 first-year surpassed the previous record of 6.52m set by
Ty Tindal '27 (May 4, 2024) and tied by
