NEW ORLEANS, LA -- Five Bulldogs: Ezra Acero (San Antonio//Harlan), Braylen Brown, Rickey Franks (Rockport/Rockport-Fulton), Amir McClain (Converse/Veterans Memorial), and Shayne Moss (San Marcos/San Marcos), secured All-Region honors from the USTFCCCA for their incredible outdoor seasons. All-Region honors for the 2025 NCAA Division-III Outdoor Track & Field season were announced on Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) following the conclusion of the regular season.

Only USTFCCCA member programs are eligible for awards.

Ezra Acero earned All-Region honors in the pole vault 4.95m (16' 2.75"), his seventh All-Region honor across indoor and outdoor track and field seasons dating back to his 2021 freshman season. His 4.95m mark ranked second in the West Region and tied for 11th in all of NCAA Division-III.
