BELLINGHAM, Wash. - Seventeen Western Washington University indoor track and field athletes were named West Region all-stars Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

The top five from each region in individual events and each member of a relay ranked in the region's top three earned the all-region distinction for the 2012 indoor season.

Three Vikings were honored in two events. They were Chip Jackson (Jr., Seattle/Shorewood) in the men's mile and distance medley relay, Eleanor Siler (Sr., Spokane/Lewis & Clark) in the women's 400 and DMR, and Emily Warman (Jr., Sedro-Woolley) in the women's long and triple jumps.
