Bevy of Region 4 teams earning recognition ahead of spring seasons

With the calendar fully flipped to February, the Spring 2022 seasons are rapidly approaching and ten Region 4 programs are garnering preseason attention. Rock Valley College boasts the only program with a #1 national ranking, as the seven-time defending national champions prepare for their final season competing at the Division III level, and the Golden Eagles are joined by the College of DuPage and Joliet Junior College representing the region in the nation's top ten. The Division II Baseball Poll also features three squads from Region 4 in the top 12, led by Madison College at #5. The WolfPack are the only Region 4 school to have both their baseball and softball teams listed in the preseason polls.
