Dinerman finished 11th out of 22 athletes at 800 meters in a time of 1:50.70, capping a brilliant career as a student-athlete with the Scarlet Raptors. Dinerman becomes the Scarlet Raptors' first outdoor track All-American since 2021 and 2022, when Jude Misko captured back-to-back national championships in the hammer.
During his three seasons in the 2025-26 scholastic year, Dinerman participated in the NCAA Championships for both cross country and outdoor track, while barely missing during indoor track season. Dinerman earned New Jersey Athletic Conference Second Team honors in cross country, indoor track (mile) and outdoor track (800 meters) this year.
During the 2024-25 scholastic year, he became the only athlete in Rutgers-Camden history to earn NJAC First Team recognition in all three sports in the same year.
Last fall, Dinerman set a Rutgers-Camden 8K cross country program record with a time of 24:43.4. During indoor track season he set program records in the mile (4:09.85) and at 3,000 meters (8:37.41). During outdoor season he set program records at 800 meters (1:49.75), 1,500 meters (3:48.17) and with the sprint medley team (3:29.24).
Dinerman also has earned numerous academic honors, including one as a 2025 USTFCCCA Div. III Track & Field All-Academic Athlete. He also was named the Philly-SIDA Men's Cross Country Academic Performer of the Year.
Deleon finished 19th of 22 in the high jump on Friday with a height of 1.98 meters. Deleon, competing in the second NCAA Championship of his young career, also tied for 14th of 18 high jumpers at the NCAA Div. III Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 14 with a jump of 1.98 meters.
During his stellar freshman year, Deleon earned New Jersey Athletic Conference Second Team honors both indoors and outdoors. During the indoor season, he set the Rutgers-Camden program record with a jump of 2.09 meters at the TCNJ Last Chance Meet on March 1. During outdoor season, he set the program's high jump mark with a 2.06-meter jump at the NJAC Championships (May 3) and tied his own record with a 2.06-meter jump at the Widener Final Qualifier May 11, when he finished first out of 17 athletes.
