NEW ORLEANS, La. (pacathletics.org) - When the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Region Indoor Track and Field Teams were announced, a total of 27 from the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) were among those who were recognized with All-Region recognition.

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 honored on two All-Region teams. Five women made All-Great Lakes Region, including four from Allegheny College and one from Franciscan University.  The remaining 15 women and seven men were named to the All-Mid-Atlantic Team.

Those honored captured 12 conference titles in the events they were recognized in during the 2025 PAC Championships, held Feb. 27th at Youngstown State University.

Ten of those honored are repeat All-Region athletes this year, including eight women and two men. Two from Westminster College, including fifth-year senior Madison Conley and senior Lexi Shiderly, are now four-time All-Region performers in the pole vault and shot put, respectively.

Earning All-Region in multiple events were Chatham University senior Aurielle Brunner, including repeat awards in the long and triple jumps; Grove City College senior Lydia Bennett, a repeat performer in the mile, as well as the distance medley relay alongside Wolverine sophomore Cayla Lawrence; and Westminster graduate student Breannda Davis, now with consecutive honors in the high jump and pentathlon.

Rounding out the repeat All-Region honorees were Bethany College senior Alexis Mahaffey in the weight throw and Franciscan University sophomore Lauren Dosch in the 800.


The two repeat performers on the men's side featured Grove City junior Alex Mitchell, now a three-time All-Region runner in the 400 and two-time in the 200, and Geneva graduate student Jack Garvin, who collected his third straight All-Region award in the high jump.

In addition to their conference and region honors, five of these student-athletes qualified for the 2024 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships and competed at nationals in Rochester, N.Y., on March 14-15. Brunner, who also qualified in the pentathlon, earned All-American status in the long and triple jump, while Bennett ran to All-American distinction in the mile. Others who competed at NCAA Championships included Conley in the pole vault, Davis in the high jump and pentathlon and Mitchell in the 400.
