CHESTER, Pa. - Several student-athletes set personal records as the Swarthmore College track & field teams wrapped up the 2024 season at the Widener Final Qualifier on Monday. 

Colin DeLaney headlined the list of personal bests with a program record in the 3000m steeplechase. The junior knocked off a nearly 40-year-old record in his final meet of the season. Aiden Tomov and Kenneth Relovsky also recorded top-10 all-time efforts in their respective events, as a handful of competitors set personal milestones for Swarthmore.
