His 4:11.91 run in the mile Jan. 30 at the Roanoke Invitational Challenge turned more than a few heads as it broke a six-year-old Old Dominion Athletic Conference record. He finished third in the nation and first in the South\/Southeast Region this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 800m, Alderfer broke his own EMU record with a time of 1:54,76 at the Finn Pincus Invitational. It was the top time in the ODAC and region this year and placed him 16th in the nation. Alderfer potentially could have qualified for the NCAA National Championships in both events before the late-season decision was made to cancel the meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These joins Alderfer&#8217;s first All-Region honor for the indoor 800m in 2020. He had a breakout indoor season in January and February, running in three meets and earning All-ODAC Athlete of the Week laurels each time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Johnson finished third in the South\/Southeast Region in the 200m. He ran a time of 22.60 at the Finn Pincus Invitational on Feb. 20, which was the top time in the ODAC this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Johnson&#8217;s All-Region award after missing by one spot in the 200m last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be named All-Region, an athlete must be ranked in the top-5 of an individual event in the region according to the final TFRRS data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ustfccca.org\/2021\/03\/featured\/2021-ncaa-division-iii-indoor-track-field-all-region\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to see the entire list of USTFCCCA All-Region honorees.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EMU track &amp; field standouts&nbsp;Isaac Alderfer&nbsp;(Broadway, Va.\/Broadway) and&nbsp;Alijah Johnson&nbsp;(Upper Marlboro, Md.\/Frederick Douglass) added more medals to their recently completed indoor season as both were named the All-Region Team today.
