CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The NC State track and field team collected 10 spots on the All-ACC teams on Saturday in the final day of competition at the 2019 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championship, bringing the squad's total to 14 on the weekend.
Gabriele Cunningham notched a bronze-medal performance in the women's 100m hurdles final with a career-best 13.13 mark, registering as the third-fastest event time in NC State history.
Dominique Clairmonte's third-place finish in the women's 5000m earned her First Team All-ACC honors, the first of her track and field career. The redshirt sophomore crossed the finish line in 16:07.86, kicking it into high gear at the end of the race to move into podium placement position.
All running events were moved up four hours on Saturday in anticipation of inclement weather in the area.
Over the course of the championship, six NC State women found a spot on the all-conference squad, the most for the program since 2016. Six Wolfpack men collected all-conference honors on the weekend.
The Florida State women and Virginia Tech men took the team conference titles with 134 points and 123 points respectively.
The NC State women placed sixth with 56 points, its best outdoor finish since 2014. Five members of the women's squad found a place on the podium throughout the weekend (Janel Pate, Lauren Evans, Timara Chapman, Cunningham, Clairmonte), including Evans throwing her way to the shot put title. The NC State men ended the weekend in 13th place.
Sprints: Cunningham would quickly gain her second all-conference accolade of the day in the women's 100m dash. Placing sixth in 11.43, Cunningham posted the Pack's third-best mark in its history.
Cunningham rounded out her day in the women's 200m final, notching a 23.83 for fifth place. The top-10 program performance marked her third all-conference honor of the weekend and the eighth of her career.
Ares Epps finished the men's 800m final with a PR time of 1:51.00, placing fourth for the first all-conference accolade of the freshman's career. His time stands at No. 6 in the school record books.
