Panzera of Track and Field Named All-Region by USTFCCCA
Finished fourth in the east region in the heptathlon.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Following a standout indoor season, sophomore John Panzera of the University of Bridgeport's track and field team has been named All-East Region by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). He was also selected as an All-Region honoree following his first outdoor campaign last May.
The heptathlon is where Panzera makes his mark as he finished the year ranked fourth in the east region. He earned his regional score thanks to a terrific performance at the Bucknell Bison Open and Multi on Jan. 31-Feb. 1.
Panzera tallied three PRs that weekend in Lewisburg, including in the 60-meter (7.53), the long jump (6.08m) and the 60-hurdles (8.98) en route to a total of 4,314 pts.
Panzera will make his outdoor debut along with the rest of UB's track and field team on March 22 at the Peacock Relays.
