NEW ORLEANS – Fresh off a high-caliber performance at the 2026 NCAA Division II Indoor Championships in Virginia Beach, the Harding Lady Bisons have been recognized with a string of postseason accolades. The USTFCCCA announced its All-Central Region team and All-America honorees, with seven Lady Bisons earning regional recognition and all four national qualifiers securing All-America status.

The Central Region is widely regarded as one of the deepest pools of talent in the country. To achieve All-Region honors, an athlete or relay team must rank in the top five of the region at the conclusion of the regular season.
