All-Region honors for the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Division II Track & Field season have been announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Crystal Walker and Ellyse Wolfrath from Northern Michigan received recognition in the 100m hurdles category.

Walker made a notable return this outdoor season after missing the indoor season due to injury. At the GLIAC Championships on May 1, she recorded a time of 13.84 seconds in the 100m hurdles. This performance secured her a place among the nation's top-20 athletes over the final two weeks of the regular season, earning her a spot at the national championship.

She is set to compete in Emporia, Kansas, at the NCAA Championships. The preliminaries are scheduled for Friday, May 24th at 7:50 p.m. ET, with the finals on Saturday, May 25th at 3:55 p.m. ET.

Wolfrath's performance this season closely followed Walker's, with her best time being 13.89 seconds at the GLIAC Championships. She was named a Second Team All-American after finishing 12th in the 60m hurdles during this past indoor season.
