NEW ORLEANS – Regional Athletes of the Year for the 2025 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field season were announced on Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), as Indianapolis' Josue Le Cadre and Southwest Baptist's Collinique Farrington claimed both Track Athlete of the Year awards for the Midwest Region.
Le Cadre, who hails from Nantes, France, won the 800-meter title at the NCAA DII Outdoor Championships. He entered the meet with the second fastest time of the season at 1:46.79, good enough for eighth on the NCAA DII all-time chart. Earlier in the season, Le Cadre won the event at the GLVC Championships and finished runner-up in both the 1500 meters and as part of the 4×400 relay.
Farrington, who hails from Freeport, Bahamas, won the 400-meter title in PR 51.57 at the NCAA DII Outdoor Championships. That was one of four events in which she competed in Pueblo, Colorado: Farrington was also runner-up in the 200 meters in an all-conditions PR 22.83 and ran a leg on the sixth place 4×400 relay team. Earlier in the season, Farrington scored 22 points at the GLVC Championships with individual titles in the 200 and 400, as well as a tote on the runner-up 4×400 relay.
