Two Ball State track & field athletes named First Team All-MAC

After their first place finishes in last week's Mid-American Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships, sophomores Regan Lewis and Peyton Stewart were named to the All-MAC First Team. Lewis secured a spot in the high jump during the NCAA Preliminary Regional in Lexington, Kentucky on May 26, after her performance in the conference tournament. Her 1.82m high jump was not only best in the MAC, but it was the second-best jump in program history and a personal best for Lewis.
