Watch Live on ACC Network Extra | Live Results

The Wolfpack Track and Field squads are headed to Atlanta, Ga., this weekend to compete in the 2017 ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The event, which is hosted by Georgia Tech, will be held at the George C. Griffin Track & Field Facility and runs from Friday through Sunday.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

THE SPRINTS
Men: Freshman Cravont Charleston was a high school All-American in the 100 meters a year ago and was the runner-up in the 60m at the 2017 Indoor Championships. He enters his first ACC outdoor meet having posted the league's fastest time this season in the 100 meters (10.24 at the Penn Relays) this season and could be the man to beat. That mark ranks 17^th in the East Region.

Charleston will be joined in the 100m field by Wolfpack football star Nyheim Hines, who finished 5^th in the 100m at last year's outdoor meet and another freshman, Dylan Peebles.

Charleston and Peebles will also compete in the 200m

Women: Sophomore Gabriele Cunningham leads the women's sprint corps and will run the 100m, 200m and 100m hurdles in Atlanta. She was a second-team All-ACC performer last year in the 100 and just missed indoor honors in the 60 meters this year.

THE THROWS
Men: Junior Joshua Davis was an All-ACC performer last season in the hammer throw and holds the school record in that event. He enters the ACC meet with the league's 4^th-best mark in the hammer– a 218'9 at the Florida Relays

Women: Sophomore Lauren Evans will throw the hammer and shot put, while senior Alyssa Dunn will handle the shot put and discus. Dunn was an All-ACC performer in the shot put at the 2016 outdoor championships.

THE JUMPS
Men: Sophomore Christopher Garrick was an All-ACC performer a year ago in the high jump and earned second-team honors at the 2017 indoor league championships. He and freshman JaTory Reid will compete in that event on Sunday.

Women: Junior Javonne Antoine won 2^nd-team All-ACC outdoor honors in 2016 in the triple jump and barely missed second-team honors at this year's indoor meet. Her season-best of 42'7 is the league's second-best mark heading into the meet.

THE DISTANCE EVENTS
Men: Senior Sam Parsons was the runner-up in the 5000m at the 2017 ACC Indoor meet and won All-ACC honors in the outdoor event last year, but has not yet competed in that event this outdoor season.

He will be joined in the 5000m field by teammates Elijah Moskowitz, Aubrey Myjer and Ben Barrett, while Philip Hall will compete in the 1500m. Moskowitz will also compete in the 10,000m on Friday evening. He posts the No. 26 mark in the east region in the event heading into the league championships.

Women: The Wolfpack has a strong slate in the women's distance events, led by senior Megan Moye, who will attempt to defend her ACC Outdoor title in the 1500m. Moye will be joined by three-time ACC Performer of the Week Erika Kemp, the 2016 ACC indoor champ in the 3000m, in that event and the 5000m.

Rachel Koon, Elly Henes and Ryen Frazier, who hold the east region's 15^th, 16^th and 18^th best marks respectively in the 5000m, will also run that event in Atlanta.

THE RELAYS
Men: NC State won the 2016 ACC outdoor title in the 4x100 meter relay, but only Nyheim Hines returns from that unit. Dylan Peebles, Cravont Charleston, Jumpai Dowdy and Hines will compete in that event in Atlanta. That group has turned in the 20^th-best time in the NCAA east region this year.
