Oklahoma Christian, Angelo State, Colorado Christian and West Texas A&M were tied for the most All-Region selections with four each. A total of 12 different schools were represented on the two 14-player All-Region teams.
Ton was a First Team All-RMAC selection this spring after being an Honorable Mention selection each of the last two seasons, and remained one of the best left fielders in the RMAC. 2026 was a career year for the junior as she led the Orediggers this spring with a .433 batting average while posting an on-base percentage of .475 and slugging .572. Ton recorded three doubles, seven triples and hit three inside-the-park home runs while driving in 24 runs and scoring 55. She broke her own single-season stolen base record again this spring and finished with 37 stolen bases for the first 30-steal season in program history. Ton now owns the top three stolen base seasons in program history, while adding her name to the single-season lists in hits (81, t-3rd), batting average (5th) and runs (55, t5th). She also fielded .989 in the outfield with five outfield assists defensively. Through three seasons in a Mines uniform, Ton ranks first in stolen bases with 89, is tied for fifth with 13 career triples, is sixth in batting average at .360 and ninth in hits with 196.
Aragon, who graduated Friday with a Master's in STEM Education, was a First Team All-RMAC honoree this spring and RMAC Gold Glove winner as she went 4-4 on All-RMAC honors in her career, earning Honorable Mention distinction in 2023 before being named a Second Team honoree in 2024 and 2025. One of the best players in program history, this spring Aragon batted .420/.455/.692 with 13 doubles, 12 triples, three home runs, 49 RBI and 42 runs scored along with 11 stolen bases in 55 games played with 54 starts.
