NEW ORLEANS, La. – The Baldwin Wallace University men's track and field team landed four student-athletes on the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTCCCA) Indoor Track & Field All-Great Lakes Region team.

Sophomore sprinter Jordan Leverette (Cleveland/John Adams) earned his second All-Great Lakes Region accolade and senior All-Ohio Athletic Conference vaulter Johnathon Spilker (Solon), All-OAC junior throwers Cody Smith (Port Clinton) and Zak Dysert (McDonald, Pa./Fort Cherry) each earn their first All-Great Lakes Region honors.  

Leverette, who earned All-Great Lakes Region honors a season ago, was on the team for the 60-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter dashes.
