Clemson Women, Virginia Tech Men Win 2025 ACC Indoor Track & Field Championships

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (theACC.com) – After three days of fierce competition, Clemson won its first Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championship since 2015, totaling 89 total points. The title is the seventh in program history for the Tigers, which ranks second among all ACC programs. With the win, Clemson’s Mark Elliott became just the sixth coach in ACC history to lead his team to multiple ACC Women’s Indoor Track & Field Championships.  
 
The Tigers were led by Aniyah Kitt, who was named the ACC Women’s Track Most Valuable Performer after logging 18 points. Kitt won the women’s 200-meter run, while finishing second in the 60-meter dash. Stanford’s Alyssa Jones was named the Women’s Field Most Valuable Performer after winning both the high jump and long jump events.
 
Virginia Tech lifted the ACC Men’s Indoor Track & Field Championship trophy for the fourth time in the last five seasons after logging 82 total points. The Hokies edged out Virginia after a strong showing in the 4x400-meter relay sealed the team victory. It marks the seventh ACC Championship for the Hokies and the first under head coach Ben Thomas.
 
The Hokies’ Judson Lincoln IV earned Men’s Track Most Valuable Performer honors after winning both the 200 and 400-meter runs, collecting 20 total points. North Carolina’s Thomas Kitchell was named the Men’s Field Most Valuable Performer after winning the shot put and finishing fourth in the weight throw.
 
In the first running event of the day, Virginia’s Margot Appleton set the meet and facility records in the women’s one-mile run. The senior from Virginia shattered the previous ACC Championship record by more than seven seconds, clocking a time of 4:26.21 for the Cavaliers. Appleton became the first Cavalier to win the women’s mile at the ACC Championships since Iona Lake in 2016.
 
Clemson’s Oneka Wilson won her third consecutive ACC Championship in the women’s 60-meter hurdles, becoming the first woman in ACC history to win three titles in the event. She was joined on the podium by a pair of North Carolina standouts in Aaliyah Berry and Kalani Witherspoon, who took second and third places, respectively.
 
Shenese Walker of Florida State repeated as the women’s 60-meter dash champion, clocking a time of 7.21 seconds to win the gold medal. Her Seminole teammate, Lucy May Sleeman, won the bronze medal with a 7.32-second time, while Clemson freshman Aniyah Kitt finished second with a time of 7.25 seconds.
 
Following the lead of Walker and Sleeman, a pair of Florida State hurdlers took the top two places on the podium in the men’s 60-meter hurdles. Sophomore Andre Korbmacher took the gold medal in a time of 7.58 seconds, while senior Tyson Williams earned the silver medal with a 7.61-second time. Clemson’s Sharvis Simmonds claimed the bronze medal after finishing in 7.76 seconds.
 
Pitt’s JeNyia Burton became the first Panther to win the women’s 400-meter run since Desiree Garland in 2018. Her time of 51.82 seconds also broke the facility record.
 
California’s David Foster won the men’s 60-meter dash for the Golden Bears’ first ACC Men’s Indoor Track & Field individual championship. Foster broke the finish line in 6.56 seconds, just one-hundredth of a second off of his personal-best time.
 
Duke’s Simen Guttormsen broke the ACC, Championship and facility records in the men’s pole vault, clearing 5.67 meters. The record had stood since 2017, previously held by Torben Laidig of Virginia Tech. Guttormsen’s mark ranks fourth nationally entering Monday’s action.
 
As the action drew to a close, the Duke women’s 4x400-meter relay broke the ACC Championship record, posting a time of 3:31.88. The Blue Devils’ quartet of Aliya Garozzo, Lauren Tolbert, Braelyn Baker and Megan McGinnis were dominant throughout the race, turning in the second-fastest time in the ACC this season.
