NEW ORLEANS, Lou. – Carroll University track & field freshmen Jenna Weis and Brian Smith have once again earned USTFCCCA All-North Region honors, this time for the 2026 outdoor season, recognizing their standout performances among the top athletes in the region.

The pair previously collected All-Region distinction during the indoor season, continuing an impressive first-year campaign that has now carried into the national stage.

Both Weis and Smith have already secured qualification for the 2026 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships, set to begin tomorrow in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Weis will represent the Pioneers in the women's pole vault, competing Thursday as she looks to build on a strong outdoor season that has solidified her place among the region's best. Smith is set to compete in the men's 400 meters, with preliminary rounds scheduled for Friday and the final on Saturday if he advances.

Their repeat All-Region recognition, coupled with national qualification, highlights the immediate impact both student-athletes have made for Carroll. As freshmen, Weis and Smith have quickly established themselves as key contributors and emerging leaders for the Pioneers on the conference, regional, and national levels.

With nationals set to get underway, the duo will look to cap their breakout seasons with strong performances on one of the sport's biggest stages.
