One of the top jumpers to ever wear a Pioneer track and field uniform, Marcus Lewis McGlory (1979-82) had a standout career during a time when the Pioneers were among the elite Division II track programs in the nation. A team captain for three of his four seasons, McGlory was a four-time All-Far Western Conference (FWC) honoree as a long jumper and claimed the 1982 FWC Long Jump Championship. His career best of 23 feet, 9.5 inches is still the 10th-longest jump in school history -- and that wasn't even his best event. In his first year, McGlory set a freshman school record with a triple jump of 50 feet, 10 inches. He went onto to be a three-time All-Conference and three-time NCAA Division II All-American triple jumper, placing fourth in the nation as a freshman, second as a sophomore, and fifth as a junior. McGlory was also a USA Junior National All-American triple jumper, taking fourth place at the USA Junior National Track & Field Competition. He qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships all four years at Hayward, and his personal best of 51'10" remains the fourth-longest triple jump in Pioneer history. McGlory was also a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and he was a recipient of the President's Service Award.
