NEW ORLEANS – Vanessa Uitenbroek, a 2020 graduate of Kaukauna High School, has received All-Region honors for the 2025 NCAA Division-III Indoor Track & Field season.

Uitenbroek, a graduate senior at Carroll University, is a four-time conference champion in the shot put, winning her fourth straight title just a couple weeks ago.

She currently ranks seventh in the event in all of Division-III with a distance of 14.06m (46-01.5). This marks the seventh All-Region distinction of Uitenbroek’s distinguished career, with five coming during the outdoor season. The most recent award is her second consecutive All-Region honor in the Indoor Shot Put.

Maria Falk, a senior from Oshkosh, also received All-Region recognition in shot put and currently ranks eighth in all of Division-III in the shot put with a season-best throw of 14.04m (46-00.75), which is just one spot behind Uitenbroek.

Both Uitenbroek and Falk finished their successful indoor season Saturday when they competed in the shot put at the 2025 NCAA Division-III Indoor National Championships at the Golisano Training Center in Rochester, N.Y.
