BLOOMSBURG, Pa. – Sophomore Kathryn Blair (Elma, N.Y./Iroquois) and senior Amanda Aulenbach (Fleetwood, Pa./Oley Valley) of the Bloomsburg University women's track and field team earned individual United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Region honors while the distance medley relay team of junior Autumn Avery (Hughesville, Pa./Hughesville), freshman Sarah Castronova (Lancaster, Pa./Conestoga Valley), sophomore Riley Snyder (Northumberland, Pa./Shikellamy), and Blair earned picked up the award as well, as announced last week.
 
To earn All-Region honors, an athlete must be one of the top-5 individuals in their event in their respective region. In addition, each member of a region's top-3 relay teams was also selected for the distinction. The eight regions used in NCAA DII are the Atlantic, Central, East, Midwest, South, South Central, Southeast and West.
 
Blair had two individual honors as she set the school record in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:13.37, second in the Atlantic Region, and in the 1-mile run with a time of 5:03.18 (time converted for track size), fourth in the region. Blair set the school record in the 800-meter run at the Bison Open and Multi on January 31, 2020 while posting her all-region time in the 1-mile run at the Gulden Invitational on January 25, 2020.
 
Blair also helped the DMR team to all-region honors as she anchored the team to a school-record time of 12:23.89 at the Bison Open and Multi on January 31, 2020.

Aulenbach captured third overall in the pentathlon at the 2020 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Indoor Championships to set the school record with 3,180 points. The point total was good enough for fifth in the region as well to earn the All-Region honors.
