Men's track & field senior Brian Layng scored 6,391 points in the decathlon this past weekend at the Messiah Invitational en route to a new personal record.

Layng's point total ranks second in school history behind Kevin Clark and is currently seventh in Division III this spring.

For his efforts, the Canton, Pa., product was named Middle Atlantic Conference Men's Track & Field Athlete of the Week by the league office on Monday.

The conference's two-time defending champion in the event set four personal records (100m, long jump, shot put, 400m) in five events during Thursday's opening day. When competition resumed Friday, Layng PR'd in the 110-meter hurdles and tied a PR in the javelin.
