Top-eight individuals in each event from each region earned All-Region honors, in addition to each of the members of a top-three ranked relay team.
 
The W&J women's team collected three All Mid-Atlantic Region selections by way of Claire Anderson (Jamestown, Pa./Jamestown), Sarah Schneider (Warren, Ohio/Lordstown) and Chloe LoCastro (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township).
 
Anderson earned her All-Region nod in three events including the 1,500-, 5,000- and 10,000-meter run. The now three-time All-Region selection finished first in the region in the 10k after her 34:07.20 school record time at the Bison Outdoor Classic hosted by Division I Bucknell University.

LoCastro finished second in the event and broke the W&J program record.
