NEW ORLEANS -- With the NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships a little under two weeks away, Academy of Art University track & field concluded its 2017 indoor regular season with a total of 27 All-Region honors as announced by the nation's foremost track and field organization on Monday. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) awarded All-Region to the top five from each region in individual events and each member of a relay ranked in the region's top three, meaning nine members of the Urban Knights men's squad and eight women were selected.

Leading a men's team ranked fifth in the West Region and 15th in the country (as of Feb. 21), Mobolade Ajomale collected four awards (60m, 200m, 400m, 4x400m). Gatien Airiau (3000m, 5000m) and Quinlan Wright (60mH, 4x400m) followed with two honors apiece while individual All-Region honorees included Marlon Britton (60mH), Christian Carter (4x400m), Pierre Fontanarosa (3000m), Craig Mattox (LJ), Kaze Poitier (4x400m), and Michane Ricketts (LJ).

One of just four women in the country with five honors, Marion Presigny earned All-Region in the 60mH, HJ, LJ, 4x400m, and Pentathlon. Dual selections were awarded to Schae Graham (400m, 4x400m) and Hannah Hensley (HJ, Pentathlon) while Jasmine Grace (4x400m), Mistic Scott (4x400m), Folke Woch (Pentathlon), and Rian Young-Werner (Triple Jump) each took home one apiece.

The ART U men's and women's teams will be in action at the 2017 NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships in Birmingham, Alabama next week on Mar. 10-11.
