NEW ORLEANS — The United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its All-Region honorees for the 2023 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field season this week and senior Dave Etienne (Jersey City, N.J./Dickinson) of the New Jersey City University men's track & field program officially earned All-Metro Region honors in both the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash.

The recognition is given to the top five individuals in each event in their respective regions. Etienne's personal record time of 21.71 — and NJCU indoor program-record tying time — in the 200m from the 2023 Boston University John Thomas Terrier Classic ranks third in the Metro region behind only Cheickna Traore of Ramapo College and Jah'mere Beasley of Rowan University. Additionally, his personal record time of 48.17 in the 400m, also at the Terrier Classic, ranks fourth in the region behind Traore, Samuel Knowles of Widener University and Amara Conte of Rowan.
