NEW ORLEANS – Matyas Csiki-Fejer of the Suffolk men's indoor track & field team picked up All-EAST honors from the United States Track & Field Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) in the 3000, the national organization announced.
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. The regions used for this award – East, Great Lakes, Metro, Mid-Atlantic, Mideast, Midwest, Niagara, North, South, and West – match those used during the cross country season.
A native of Manchester, Missouri, Csiki-Fejer had the top time in the 3k in the East with an 8:15.11 performance at Boston University's Last Chance Meet Feb. 27, 2022.
The first-ever Ram to take home the indoor all-region honor became the first Suffolk male student-athlete to earn a bid to the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships earlier this week behind his region-best showing in the 3000. Overall, the captain is the second-ever Ram to make the list behind Emily Manfra '20, who scooped up a region recognition in the mile in 2020.
Csiki-Fejer looks to continue his historic senior season March 11-12 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina at NCAAs.
