The awards recognize each region's top five performers in individual events and top three teams in relay events.
Sophomore multi-athlete Michael-Ange Siaba, the Most Outstanding Field Athlete at the Northeast-10 Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships, headlines Stonehill's honorees by earning All-Region honors in three events. He set two school-records at the NE10 Championships, totaling 4,666 points in his third-place finish in the heptathlon and recording a school-record distance of 23-feet, 1.75-inches in his second-place finish in the long jump at the event. Siaba also finished second in the triple jump with his season-best distance (46-6.75) at the NE10 Championships.
Junior Ethan Famiano and sophomore Nickolas McNamee also earn All-East Region honors for Stonehill. Famiano earns All-Region honors for the 60-meter hurdles for the second time in his career with his season-best 8.44-second effort at the New England Indoor Track & Field Championships, giving him three All-Region honors for his career. McNamee earned All-East Region honors for the one mile run for the second-straight year, posting a personal-best time of 4:12.21 at the Boston University Last Chance Meet, giving him five All-Region honors over his first two seasons across the cross country and indoor and outdoor track & field seasons, overall, including three for indoor track & field.
