NEW ORLEANS – The Ursinus College men's track and field team earned a program record 11 All-Metro Region selections for the 2021-22 indoor season, announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Tuesday.

Among the 11 selections for the Bears were: senior Octavious Carter in the 60-meter dash, senior Zach Crebbin in the High Jump, junior Daniel Maloney in the 60-meter hurdles, freshman Brody Myers in the pole vault, junior Tyler Ortiz plus senior Brandon Slaboda for the Heptathlon, senior Tyler Reilly for the 400-meter dash, and sophomore Collin Ney, junior Daniel Tabor, Reilly, and junior Payton Stanziani for the 4x400 relay.

To be named all-region, an athlete must finish either in the top five of an individual event or be part of a top-three relay team.

Carter's first All-Region nod comes off the heels of a 60-meter dash gold medal at the Indoor Centennial Conference Championships. He recorded a time of 7.00 and ranks fifth in the metro region for the event with that time.

Crebbin ranked third for the high jump in the metro region after posting a career-best mark of 6-6.75 ft. back in the Division III Invitational at the Armory. He finished second at the Centennial Indoor Championships for the event as well.

It was the third time he set the program record this season in the pole vault and he became the first Bear in program history to win gold at the Centennial Championships for the event.

Slaboda and Ortiz rank third and fourth, respectively for the heptathlon in the Metro Region and each earn their first career All-Region honors. Slaboda racked up 3467 points and finished fourth in the Centennial Championships while Ortiz followed just behind with a fifth-place finish on 3402 points.

Reilly racked up four gold medals at the championship meet.

Ney, Reilly, Stanziani, and Tabor own the second-best time for the 4x400 relay at 3:20.33 that was set last weekend at the AARTFC Championship.
