Four members of the #22 Middlebury men's cross country team secured all-region recognition from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Benjamin Hughes, Cameron Miles, Owen Johnson and Ethan Sholk each earned the honor based on their finishes at the NCAA Mideast Regional Championship. Runners who finish in the top 35 of each regional meet secure the accolade.

HONOREE HIGHLIGHTS

• Hughes paced the Panthers, finishing fourth with a time of 25:16.8. His placing was the highest by a Middlebury runner since 2019. The all-region honor is the third for Hughes.
• In his second regional race, Miles crossed the finish line in 19th at 25:37.2. The time was over 25 seconds faster than his clocking at the 2024 Mideast Regionals hosted by Connecticut College.
• Johnson secured his initial USTFCCCA All-Region nod with a 22nd-place finish (25:40.1).
• Slotting right behind Johnson was Sholk, who clocked a time of 25:40.8 for 23rd overall.
• Over the past five seasons, the squad has accumulated 25 all-region selections.

Middlebury secured an at-large bid to the NCAA Championship and will head to Spartanburg, South Carolina for the event, which is set to begin at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday from the Roger Milliken Cross Country Course.
