Susquehanna University Athletics

Cris Delbaugh devoted 37 years to the Susquehanna track and field program between his four years as a thrower on the men's team and 33 years as the program's throwing coach. An All-State standout at Lewisburg High School, Delbaugh was a three-time letter winner at Susquehanna and graduated as the school record holder in both the indoor and outdoor shot put, which today remain the eighth and fourth best marks, respectively. Upon graduating in 1991 he joined the coaching staff under his former coach and fellow SU Hall of Famer Jim Taylor, producing two national champions, 18 NCAA All-Americans, 24 national qualifiers, and 98 conference champions between shot put, weight throw, hammer throw, and javelin. He added one final accomplishment in 2023 when the men's and women's track and field programs swept the Landmark Indoor and Outdoor championships, with the women capturing their first-ever outdoor conference title.
