Cortland seniors Jack Flood (Blue Point/Bayport-Blue Point) and Dana Kupiec (Salem) have been honored for their outdoor track and field performances for the week ending April 16. Flood was named both the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III North Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week, while Kupiec was chosen as the SUNYAC Women's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week.

Flood easily broke his own school record in the decathlon with his winning score of 7,021 points at the Kutztown University Mondschein Multi. He broke his previous school record of 6,686 points, set last season, and he also set meet and Kutztown facility records.

The NCAA Division III indoor heptathlon champion last month, Flood recorded three ECAC-qualifying performances during the Kutztown meet. He cleared 2.06 meters (6' 9") in the high jump, ran the 110-meter hurdles in 14.96 seconds, and registered a distance of 6.70 meters (21' 11.75") in the long jump. Flood's high jump set a meet record. Flood currently ranks first nationally in Division III in the decathlon and seventh in the high jump.

Kupiec finished third out of 48 competitors, and was the best Division III performer, in the 400-meter hurdles at the Bucknell University Bison Outdoor Classic. Her time of 1:02.39 is an ECAC qualifier and currently ranks sixth nationally in Division III.

Kupiec also ran a leg on Cortland's 4x100-meter relay team that finished in ninth place with an ECAC time of 48.40 seconds - a time that ranks 21st nationally - and she was part of the 4x400-meter relay team that finished 11th in 4:04.01 and missed ECAC standards by just a hundredth of a second.

Cortland will host the Cortland Classic Saturday and Sunday, April 22-23, and will also send some competitors to Princeton University on Friday.
