NEW ORLEANS, La. – Five members of the St. Olaf College men's and women's track and field teams combined to earn eight U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-North Region accolades for the 2025 outdoor season, as announced on Wednesday.

Senior Alison Bode, senior Sophie Abernethy, and junior Isabel Wyatt accounted for six all-region honors for the St. Olaf women, while juniors Ignatius Fitzgerald and Lance Nemecek each earned one accolade for the Ole men. The USTFCCCA awards all-region honors to the top-five individuals in each event from each region, as well as each of the members of a top-three-ranked relay team.

Bode collected all-region honors in the 1,500-meter run (4:35.42), 5,000-meter run (17:04.08), and 10,000-meter run (35:35.82), with all three times ranking fourth in the North Region this season. The senior has been an all-region honoree a combined seven times in indoor and outdoor track and field during her career, including twice in both the outdoor 5,000- and 10,000-meter runs.

Wyatt added a pair of outdoor all-region awards to her indoor accolade in the 800-meter run earlier this year by posting top-five times in the region in the 800-meter run (2:09.44) and 1,500-meter run (4:34.25). The junior's school-record and conference-championship time in the 800-meter run was the top time in the region this season, while her time in the 1,500-meter run was third.

Abernethy landed her first individual all-region accolade after running the region's fifth-fastest time in the 1,500-meter run (4:37.23). The senior was previously part of St. Olaf's all-region distance medley relay during the 2024 indoor season.

Nemecek was a first-time all-region honoree after recording the No. 3 time in the region in the 800-meter run (1:51.32) from his Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) title in the event. That time also ranks second on St. Olaf's all-time performers' list in the event.

Fitzgerald earned his first all-region accolade thanks to the No. 5 time in the region in the 1,500-meter run (3:48.55) from the UW-La Crosse Final Qualifier last week. The junior's time sits fifth on the program's all-time performers' list.

Fitzgerald, Bode, and Wyatt are three of the four Oles who will compete at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships later this week in Geneva, Ohio. Fitzgerald and Bode will begin the meet by competing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (6:10 p.m. CT) and 10,000-meter run (8:15 p.m. CT) on Thursday, May 22.
