The Atlantic 10 Conference announced Sunday evening that Duquesne's Bryan Delsite is the league's Men's Outdoor Track and Field Coach of the Year. In his second season at the helm of the men's team, Delsite guided the Dukes to fourth place at this weekend's A-10 championships, DU's best ever finish in the league. The Dukes had at least one student-athlete place in the top three in seven events. Last year, the Dukes finished fifth which at the time was the team's highest mark.

The Syracuse University grad and Elysburg, Pa. native completed his sixth year this season as the women's cross-country and track and field coach with both teams finishing fourth in the league championships.

Rhode Island's Laurie Feit-Melnick was named A-10 Coach of the Year for the women's outdoor track and field team.
