NEW ORLEANS – The Lock Haven men’s track & field team landed six student-athletes on the 2024-25 Atlantic All-Region Team, as announced by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Association (USTFCCCA) on Wednesday afternoon.

Matthew Muthler (1st, heptathlon), Nick Bellomo (heptathlon), Ryan Miller (400-meter), Eric Zalar (weight throw) and the 400-meter relay quartet of Miller, Muthler, Brennan Miller and Aydan Summers were all named 2024-25 All-Region athletes in the Atlantic.

Miller and Muthler earned a pair of All-Region honors.

The top-5 individuals in each event from each region earn All-Region distinction, in addition to each member of the region’s top-3 relay teams.

Muthler broke the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) record for points scored in the heptathlon at the conference championships on March 1, after racking up an incredible 5291 points over the two-day event. Throughout the two days, Muthler topped the field in three events, the high jump, shot put and the 1000-meter with a leap of 1.96-meters (6-05), a throw of 12.28-meters (40-03.50) and a time of 2:36.00.
