BOSTON, Mass. – Juniors Kyle Moser (Southbury, Conn.) and Jared Pierce (Biddeford, Maine) of the Wentworth Institute of Technology track and field team picked up end of year honors, as both received selections to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) 2022 Division III Outdoor Track and Field All-Region team, as announced by the association Thursday, June 23.
Student-athletes were named to the all-region team by being a top-five individual in each event from each region, in addition to each of the members of a top-three ranked relay team.
