Franklin Pierce had three women combine for four All-Region selections, well three members of the men’s team were honored as well.

The lone Raven to earn multiple All-Region selections came on the women’s side, as graduate student Nicole Galewski (Whitman, Mass.) was honored in both the 60-meter hurdles (9.05) and the pentathlon (3250 points). It marked the fifth and sixth All-Region accolades of her career.
