The Central College men’s and women’s track and field squads had nine members named as All-Midwest Region performers for the outdoor season by the USTFCCCA Wednesday afternoon.

To be named All-Region, an athlete must either be ranked in the top-5 of an individual event in the region or be part of a top-3 relay team.

All-American high jumper Sam Beatty headlines the seven male all-region recipients for the Dutch. Senior Brock Lewis is a repeat selection from the 2021 outdoor season. Lucas Heitz, Brody Klein, Jaxon Thompson, and Reid Pakkebier took four of the five all-region spots in the decathlon. Theo Baldus was honored in the discus throw.

In addition to being an all-region honoree, Caroline McMartin was a national qualifier in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase. Malory Jones was recognized in the high jump.

Eight of Central’s nine all-region honorees are set to be back in 2023, including Baldus as a fifth-year senior.
