DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke track and field team travels to Blacksburg, Va. to compete in the 2013 ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships on February 21-23, 2013. Over 50 Blue Devils will compete at Rector Field House in the Virginia Tech hosted event. Streaming will be available through TheACC.com beginning on Friday at 4 p.m. and continuing on Saturday at 12 p.m.
Five Duke school records and one ACC record have been broken so far this season including the men's high jump, men's 4x800 meter relay and the women's 60m hurdles, 200m and 5,000m. Junior Tanner Anderson broke the men's high jump record at the Virginia Tech Challenge last weekend, clearing 7-3.25 (2.22) on his final attempt to win the event and place him fourth in the conference heading into this weekend's championship.
The men's 4x800m relay team finished second at the historic Millrose Games, running a time of 7:26.88. Sophomores Nate McClafferty and Kyle Moran along with freshman Michal Filipczak and Tommy Meister made up the squad that also ran the fastest time by an American group this year. There is no 4x800m relay in the conference event but Duke will field strong relays on the men's and women's side in the 4x400m and distance medley relays.
Senior Juliet Bottorff broke the women's ACC and Duke record in the 5,000m crossing the line in 15:52.38 to finish second overall at the Husky Classic. The Newark, Del., native's time leads the conference by 20 seconds coming into the championships.
Junior Hannah Goranson broke the school record in the women's 60m hurdles, running a time of 8.58 at the Virginia Tech Challenge last weekend. The Los Altos, Calif., looks to improve on this time in a deep field this weekend.
The women's 200m record was broken early in the season by Elizabeth Kerpon at the Armory Collegiate in New York, N.Y. The Dallas, Texas native completed the event in 24.74, but will forego it during this championship weekend to focus on the 400m and 4x400m relay.
Other Blue Devils to watch this weekend include sophomore multi-event athlete Ian Rock. The Davis, Calif., native has completed one heptathlon this winter, earning a personal-best 5,169 points January 19 in Chapel Hill, N.C. In the pole vault, junior Justin Amezquita is primed for a successful weekend after clearing 17-0.75 (5.20) at the Virginia Tech Challenge, giving him the second best performance in the ACC.
On the women's side, junior Michelle Anumba will compete in the women's shot put and weight throw. The All-America honoree and Duke school record holder enters the weekend with the top mark in the shot put measuring at 54-5.25 (16.59). The Blue Devils are also loaded in the women's 800m with senior Cydney Ross and freshman Anima Banks running two of the top four times in the conference this season. Ross ran a personal record 2:07.43 at the Virginia Tech Elite Invitational on February 8 while Banks ran her best time of 2:07.64 at the Armory Collegiate on February 1.
