Dalton Students Break Records at the NY Mayor's Cup

Zach Love '19 became the first Dalton student to win an event at the NY Mayor's Cup. He captured the triple jump title Saturday with a jump of 43'8". Love won the event by 3.5 feet over his next closest competitor. He was so dominant that any of his six jumps would have easily won the contest. His winning jump was the fifth highest in the past eight years since 2015. Zach also placed second in the long jump, just narrowly getting beat out for first on the winner's final attempt. The junior's performance capped a record-setting day for the Dalton boys team, which placed second among private schools at the meet. Arjun Prasad '18 came in fifth in the pole vault, clearing 12'6", a foot better than his previous school record. Ari Eaton '20 broke the school record in the steeplechase. This was the first time the sophomore had competed in the event.

Congratulations to all.
