#ACCOTF REWIND:
NC State came away from the 2017 ACC Outdoor Championships in Atlanta, Ga. with three ACC titles on the men's side.
Cravont Charleston, then a true freshman, won the 100m and the 200m on the final day of competition at last season's ACC Outdoor Championships. His 100m time, a wind-aided 10.07, was the second-fastest in school history. Charleston earned Most Valuable Performer honors with his performance at the conference meet.
Charleston, Nyheim Hines, Junpai Dowdy, and Dylan Peebles also took the league title in the 4x100m relay, clocking in at 39.14 for the win.
The three first-place finishes helped propel the Wolfpack men's team to a fourth-place total of 78 points.
The women's squad finished ninth with 31 total points, led by First Team All-ACC performances from Rachel Koon, who took silver in the 10,000m, and Megan Moye, who placed third in the 1,500m.
