College baseball

Hens’ Olenski named All-East: Delaware senior Greg Olenski was one of 27 players named to the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings NCAA Division I All-East Region team on Thursday.

Olenski, a designated hitter, was a second-team selection on the team, which is selected from an ABCA committee of coaches in the East. He becomes the first UD player honored by the ABCA since first baseman Jimmy Yezzo and outfielder Nick Ferdinand were first-team picks in 2013.

“Greg worked extremely hard this past year on his swing and his hard work surely proved out with this great honor,” said Blue Hen coach Jim Sherman. “We are all very proud of him.”

After playing in just four of the first 12 games of the season, Olenski worked his way into a full-time role and batted .373 and tied for second in the CAA batting race. He currently ranks No. 28 among all NCAA Division I players.

He also contributed 26 runs, 28 runs batted in, and five home runs, and ranks 15th in the nation with 17 doubles (0.43 per game).

CAA’s Yeager to retire: After a 40-year career in collegiate athletics, including more than three decades as the only commissioner in the history of the Colonial Athletic Association, Tom Yeager announced on Thursday that he will retire at the conclusion of the 2015-16 season.

The CAA includes the University of Delaware.

“It has been my privilege and honor to represent the outstanding institutions in the CAA for what will be 31 years,” said Yeager, who is the longest-tenured commissioner of a NCAA Division I conference. “At the conference’s core is our institutions’ unwavering commitment to conduct their athletic programs as a vital component of their students’ educational experience. I am very proud that this commitment has enabled us to create programs and a competitive environment that has enhanced each student’s experience.”

During an era of unprecedented change in collegiate athletics, Yeager transformed what was once a Virginia/North Carolina conference into a league with a presence in many of the major metropolitan areas on the East Coast. The current CAA footprint, which runs from Boston to Charleston, S.C., encompasses four of the nation’s top nine media markets.

In his tenure, the conference has produced 19 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 16 national coaches of the year and 17 national players of the year. The league also boasts five Rhodes Scholar student-athletes, 24 NCAA post-graduate scholars and 13 Honda Award winners.

The conference garnered national attention with its success in basketball as George Mason (2006) and VCU (2011) advanced to the Men’s Final Four and Old Dominion (1997) reached the Women’s Final Four. National championships have been won in football by Delaware in 2003, James Madison in 2004, Richmond in 2008 and Villanova in 2009.
