John Walsh was a three-year-member of the track and field teams at AU (1982-84) and served as captain his senior season.
During his career, he set several school records that still stand today. He owns individual records for the indoor high jump (2.07 meters, set in 1984) and the outdoor high jump (2.09 meters, set in 1984). He was also part of the indoor and outdoor 1,600-meter relay teams that established school records.
He was Independent Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) champ in the indoor and outdoor high jump in 1982 and was the ICAC indoor champ in both the high jump and 400-meter run in 1983, when he led AU to the team indoor ICAC title.
His greatest thrill as an AU student-athlete came in 1983, when he won a state title in the high jump and qualified to compete in the NCAA championships.
Walsh graduated from AU in 1984 with a bachelor's degree in ceramic engineering. He is a president and CEO of Ceramic Protection Corp. in Newark, DE, a manufacturer of ceramic products used in industrial and military applications. He lives in Newark, DE, with his wife, Rina, and their two children, daughter Amanda and son Daniel.
