NEW ORLEANS, La. - On Wednesday, McDaniel College women's outdoor track & field junior Sophia Leone received All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Leone is the third Green Terror to earn all-region honors outdoors and first in the pole vault. She is third all-region selection for the team in the last five years. 

The top-8 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-8 relay teams.

All-Region honors for indoor track & field in Division III started in 2016. Since then, the Green Terror have earned five, including Leone, Johnson, and Morgan as well as Sarah Case (shot put) and Gabrielle Collins (60 meters) in 2022.

Leone ranked sixth in the region in the pole vault with a program record mark of 3.65 meters at the ECAC Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted at McDaniel on May 9. She finished second which was the 43rd-best mark in Division III this season.
