NEW ORLEANS – Regional Athletes and Coaches of the Year for the 2025 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field season were announced on Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) following the conclusion of the regular season. Sophomore Kelly Leszcynski (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth) earned Atlantic Region Field Athlete of the Year honors. 

Award winners were determined by a vote of USTFCCCA member coaches at the conclusion of the 2025 NCAA DII Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Pueblo, Colorado. Only those individuals from USTFCCCA member programs are eligible for awards.

Leszcynski, who hails from Nazareth, Pennsylvania, won the national title in the javelin with a throw of 52.07m (170-10), farthest in NCAA DII this year. Earlier in the season, Leszcynski finished fourth in the Championship Division at the Penn Relays. The honor comes on the back of her NCAA DII and PSAC javelin title and All-Region honors following the regular season.
