Daryn Blackwell Named PSAC SAAC Co-Chair

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) announced that East Stroudsburg University football and track & field student-athlete Daryn Blackwell has been named PSAC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Co-Chair. Blackwell will represent ESU along with other PSAC institutions on the eastern half of the state in the committee.

In this appointment, Blackwell will serve on the PSAC Advisory Council. The council is made up of athletic administrators and coaches, among other executive personnel to review proposals that are then passed along to the PSAC Presidents Council. Blackwell will also represent ESU and the eastern division at board of directors' meetings and additional conference gatherings.

 "The opportunity to represent the ESU football and track and field teams has been nothing but amazing and something I will never forget," said Blackwell. "The opportunity now to represent not just ESU in its entirety but the entire east side of the conference is fantastic. I look forward to bringing our work hard, compete, do it right mindset to every meeting and being the best version of me I can be for the great cause."

Blackwell, a sport management major, is well accomplished on and off the field for the Warriors. A dean's list honoree, Blackwell was honored by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) as a Super Region 1 All-Academic selection this past season.  An excellent student, Blackwell currently holds a 3.7 GPA.

This past February, Blackwell finished third in the weight throw at the PSAC Indoor Championships, recording a personal-best mark of 16.88m, which ranks the seventh best in program history.
