EAST STROUDSBURG - East Stroudsburg University's men's track and field team won four PSAC championships on the final day of competition, as the Warriors completed their hosting responsibilities for the 2015 PSAC Outdoor Championships on Saturday at Eiler-Martin Stadium.

The Warriors' 4x400m relay finished the meet with the squad's fourth PSAC title in six years. Freshman Juwaan Walker, Washington, sophomore Ronald D'Eliseo and senior Damien Boham ran 3:14.12, the third-fastest time in program history.

Junior Eric Conard won the decathlon (6,209 points) on Thursday and Friday to give the Warriors five total PSAC titles (four individual, one relay) for the weekend.

ESU Men's Highlights

Berry (high jump) and Morgan (110m hurdles) successfully defended their 2014 PSAC outdoor titles, and ESU had five individual winners - giving the Warriors 45 individual and 10 relay titles in the last seven years (indoors and outdoors).

ESU's third-place finish gives the Warriors a top-three spot outdoors for the sixth time in seven seasons since 2009, and their 11th in the last 14 PSAC Championships overall including the indoor season.

Berry cleared 6-9 3/4 and has an NCAA provisional mark of 6-10 3/4 this spring, tied for the school record.

Morgan broke the school record of 14.41 set by Rusty Smith, who won the PSAC title in 2009. He lowered his NCAA provisional qualifying time from 14.44.

Washington's PSAC title in the 400m is ESU's fourth in the event in the last six years, including Boham's crown as a sophomore in 2013. His 47.72 ranks No. 3 in school history and is an NCAA provisional qualifier.

Boham was second after the prelims (47.67) and finished third in 48.28. Freshman Juwaan Walker placed seventh (49.73) while also leading off for the 4x4 relay.

Conard's decathlon title included four PR's as he moved from eighth after one day to post a 230-point PR with an NCAA provisional qualifying score of 6,209. He made his big move with field-leading marks in the eighth and ninth events, the pole vault and javelin.

Ciaston's discus mark (160-4) is a PR and the No. 2 mark in school history. He finished fourth after placing second in the conference last season.

In other finals on Friday, graduate student Jack Rosenstein placed second in the hammer (181-5). Senior Mike Smith was fourth in the shot put (52-4 3/4), an NCAA DII provisional qualifier, and sixth in the hammer (172-11), both PR's.
