GREENBURGH’S GLENN BUTLER JR. MAKES IT 4-FOR-4, WINNING CIAA FIELD ATHLETE OF THE YEAR, AGAIN

The Lincoln University of Pennsylvania men’s track and field program can now boast one of the greatest field athletes in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (CIAA) storied history as Glenn Butler, Jr. (Greenburgh, N.Y./ White Plains) has now gone back-toback-to-back-to-back as the CIAA Field Athlete of the Year spanning the last two indoor and outdoor seasons.

Butler has been at LU since the COVID-19 campaign when the CIAA did not host indoor or outdoor championship events, but once they began giving out postseason awards following the 2022 iteration it has been a clean sweep for the jump specialist, bringing home the hardware each and every time since he became a Lincoln Lion.

He was selected by the coaches and sports information directors in an online vote.

During the outdoor season, the senior secured seven medals over nine events, capturing four golds and three silvers while never finishing lower than fifth place.

The gifted student-athlete won the long jump at both Charleston Southern (7.49m) and West Chester (7.03m), came in first for the triple jump on the campus of St. Mary’s College of Maryland (13.40m), and leapt to the top spot during the high jump at Morgan State (1.88m).

The former transfer from SUNY-Delhi grabbed a trio of runner-up placements as well, doing so twice in the long jump at Morgan (7.32m) as well as Norfolk State (7.37m) on top of a second-place allotment in a running event too, the 100m at WCU (11.06).

A graduate of White Plains High School, Butler went for fourth at NSU in the high jump with a height of 1.97m to go along with the fifth-fastest time in the 100m by sprinting a personal-best 10.68 seconds at CSU.
