NEW ORLEANS, La. (pacathletics.org) - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Region Indoor Track and Field Teams were announced Tuesday and 23 from the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) were among those who earned All-Region laurels.

The top-5 individuals in each event from each region on the year-end Descending Order Lists earned All-Region distinction, in addition to each member of the region's top-3 relay teams. The regions used for this award – East, Great Lakes, Metro, Mid-Atlantic, Mideast, Midwest, Niagara, North, South, and West – match those used during the cross country season.

PAC student-athletes were recognized on two All-Region teams. Three made All-Great Lakes Region, including one woman from Allegheny College and one male and one female from Franciscan University.  The remaining 13 women and seven men were named to the All-Mid-Atlantic Team.

Those honored won 13 conference titles in the events they were recognized in during the 2024 PAC Championships, held Feb. 22nd at Youngstown State University.

There are seven repeat All-Region athletes among those honored this year, including three women and four men. All three women are from Westminster College and include senior pole vaulter Emma Rudolph, who is now a four-time All-Region selection, while earning their third All-Region award was senior pole vaulter Madison Conley and junior Lexi Shiderly in the shot put.

The four repeat honorees on the men's side include W&J senior Nate Sciarro, now a three-time All-Region performer in the long jump. Collecting their second All-Region recognition was Geneva College junior Kevin Arseneaux in both the 800 and Mile, Geneva graduate student Jack Garvin in the high jump and Grove City College sophomore Alex Mitchell in the 400.

In addition to their conference and region honors, six of these student-athletes have qualified for the 2024 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships in those events and will compete at nationals this weekend in Virginia Beach, Va. The women's NCAA qualifiers include Rudolph and Conley in the pole vault, Chatham junior Aurielle Brunner in the long jump and W&J sophomore Claire Anderson in the Mile, while the two men's NCAA qualifiers include Garvin in the high jump and Sciarro in the long jump.
