The Emory University Track and Field programs earned a combined 26 South/Southeast All-Region outdoor track & field selections as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Monday morning.
To be named All-Region, an athlete must either be ranked in the top-5 of an individual event in the region according to final TFRRS data or be part of a top-3 relay team. The organization first began recognizing All-Region award winners in 2016.
The women's team, which finished the season as the top ranked team in the USTFCCCA South/Southeast regional rankings, earned 21 South/Southeast All-Region honors. NCAA-bound seniors Dani Bland and Dilys Osei led the way with four All-Region selections each with fellow Geneva-bound freshman Hannah Lansberry tallying three All-Region honors.
On the men's side, the Eagles saw five athletes earn five All-Region selections with NCAA-bound sophomore Liam Fost and Brett Henshey highlight the Emory honorees.
Bland, Osei, Lansberry, Fost, Henshey along with senior Ariana Newhouse, junior Isabel Saridakis and sophomore Rebekah Bondi will represent the Eagles this weekend at NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships at the SPIRE Institute. Action from Geneva, Ohio begins Thursday afternoon and continues through Saturday.
