The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has announced its 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field All-Region honorees, and Roanoke had 12 athletes included on the list.
Seven members of the women’s team secured All-South Region recognition in four events, while the men’s squad was represented by five athletes across four competitions.
For the women, Ophelia Ladner was selected in the 400m hurdles, while Olivia Viers garnered the accolade in the 100m hurdles. Both Roanoke relay teams also earned All-Region honors, with the 4×100 squad of Nalonda Henderson, Eleanor Hinckley, Mae Kaufman and Lindsey Hobin recognized alongside the 4×400 quartet of Kaufman, Ladner, Hobin and Maryrose Molina-Shuman.
Brady Fowler highlighted the All-Region performers on the men’s side by securing honors in three separate events, including an individual nod in both the 100m and 200m. Amari Carter joined him in the 100m, and the 4×100 relay team of Carter, Fowler, Drew Bitzer and Bryson Hill was also recognized. Jim Sarsfield rounded out the honors with an All-Region designation in the hammer throw.
Several Maroons competed in the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships in Geneva, Ohio last week. Carter and Fowler secured All-America status in the 100m dash. Racing in the same heat in the preliminary rounds, Carter and Fowler finished back-to-back with times of 10.68 and 10.69 seconds. They placed third and fourth in their heat, and their times were good for 15th and 16th overall in the prelims. Those finishes earned Second Team All-America honors for both Maroons.
In the women’s Division III national meet Ladner placed 12th overall in the 400m hurdles. She clocked in at 1:02.65 in the preliminary rounds. Coming in as the 22nd overall seed, she placed fifth in her heat and 12th overall in the field of 22 athletes. Ladner’s 12th-place finish earns her Second Team All-America honors.
