NEW ORLEANS--Westminster College graduate students Maddie Conley (New Castle, Pa., New Castle) and Breannda Davis (Streetsboro, Ohio, Streetsboro) were announced as All-America selections by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Tuesday. Additionally, five members of the women's outdoor track and field program were recently recognized as All-Region honorees.

Athletes of member institutions who finished in the top eight of their respective individual events and as part of a relay team at the 2025 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships earned First Team All-America honors. Those who finished ninth through 16th individually and ninth through 12th as part of a relay team were named Second Team All-America.

Conley tied for fifth place in the pole vault at last week's Division III Championships after clearing 3.85 meters (12-07.50). Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Katelyn Howard and the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse's Maddy Habberstad were the other competitors to clear 3.85 meters on their first attempts at the height. A four-time national qualifier and three-time All-American, Conley was seventh at both the indoor and outdoor national championships in 2024. Conley entered the outdoor championships tied with the 15th-best mark this season, clearing a personal-best 3.87 meters (12-08.25) at the Walsh University Invitational on April 23, which was held inside the University of Mount Union's Kehres Stadium in Alliance, Ohio.

Davis earned the first All-America citation of her career last Friday after a seventh-place finish in the high jump at the Division III Championships. A four-time national qualifier, she tied her season-best mark by clearing 1.68 meters (5-06) on her third attempt at the height. Davis also cleared 1.68 meters (5-06) at the University of Mount Union's Last Chance on May 15. She was one of eight qualifiers to clear 1.68 meters, the 11th-best mark of the year.

Conley and Davis, along with recent graduate Lexi Shiderly (New Castle, Pa., Mohawk), rising senior Shelby Rambo (East Palestine, Ohio, Crestview) and rising junior Jenna Zendron (West Sunbury, Pa., Moniteau) were All-Region honorees.

Top-five individuals in each event from each region earned All-Region honors, in addition to each of the members of a top-three ranked relay team. Data is compiled based on the Regional Track and Field Rating Index (TFRI), a system used by the USTFCCCA to objectively rank NCAA track and field teams. Only USTFCCCA member programs are eligible for awards.

Conley qualified for All-Region with the No. 2 mark in the Mid-Atlantic while Davis was an All-Region selection in the high jump, the 100-meter hurdles and the 400-meter hurdles. She registered a time of 15.13 seconds in the 100 hurdles at the University of Mount Union's Last Chance Meet on May 15 and a time of 1:04.11 in the 400 hurdles at the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Outdoor Championships on May 1, which both rank as the No. 5 times in the region.

Shiderly was fourth in the Mid-Atlantic in the shot put with a season-best and winning throw of 12.82 meters (42-00.75) at the PAC Outdoor Championships on May 1. Rambo was an All-Region selection in both the shot put and the discus. She posted a career-best throw of 13.37 meters (43-10.50) at Mount Union's Last Chance, which was the top-ranked throw in the Mid-Atlantic, and also had the No. 2 throw in the discus after a season-best effort of 44.16 meters (144-10) at Slippery Rock University's John Papa Invitational on April 17. Zendron's runner-up and personal-best time of 56.99 in the 400 meters at the PAC Outdoor Championships was the No. 4 time in the Mid-Atlantic.

Westminster finished in third place with 131 points at the PAC Outdoor Championships. The two-day event was once again held at Mylan Park in Morgantown, West Virginia.
