Wilmington’s Wright Claims Second Straight Track Athlete of the Year Honor

A Wilmington native has secured consecutive honors as the premier track athlete in his collegiate conference while helping his team earn widespread regional recognition.

Jalen Wright, a junior at Goldey-Beacom College from Wilmington, DE, has been named the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Men’s Track Athlete of the Year for the second year in a row. The achievement marks back-to-back seasons of conference-level excellence for the Delaware athlete.

Wright’s individual success was part of a broader team achievement, as he joined three other Goldey-Beacom athletes in earning All-East Region recognition from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The quartet’s selection highlights the strength of the college’s track and field program on a regional scale.

The repeat honor demonstrates Wright’s continued dominance in conference competition and establishes him as one of the standout performers in collegiate track and field in the region.
