GREENSBORO, N.C. – The ACC has announced its annual outdoor track & field All-ACC Academic Team with Duke track & field earning 19 honorees. Women's track & field delivered an ACC-leading 14 honorees, while men's track & field tallied five.
Â
Women's track & field not only led the conference, but also set a program record for the most honorees since the awards began in 2006. Graduate students Brittany Aveni, Elena Brown-Soler, Zoe Hughes, Cha'Mia Rothwell, Iman Sule and Julia Valenti, seniors Lauren Hoffman, Erin Marsh, Michaela Reinhart, Ashleigh Rodriguez and Leigha Torino, sophomores Elasia Campbell and Jenna Crean and freshman Brianna Smith have all been named to the exclusive list.
Â
All 14 took home at least one All-ACC honor with seven earning at least one USTFCCCA All-America distinctions. The 14 combined for eight medals and three event titles in the 400m, 4x400m and high jump en route to the program's first ACC Outdoor Championship.
Â
Aveni becomes the 10th person in school history to be named to three separate outdoor track & field All-ACC Academic Teams. Hoffman adds her second honor, while the remaining 12 received their first outdoor honor in their Duke tenures.
Â
On the men's side, graduate students Connor Atkinson, Kiegan Lenihan, Evan Lee and Harry Lord and sophomore Ezra Mellinger were named to the 2021 list. Each one contributed points at the ACC Outdoor Championship, with all five earning All-ACC honors. Lee was the champion in the decathlon and Atkinson earned bronze in the 400m hurdles. The Blue Devils were all named to the list for the first time.
Â
Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one's academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.
Â
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.
