Wilbourn Garners ACC Women’s Coach of the Year Honors
6/22/2023 2:23:00 PM | Track & Field
DURHAM – Duke Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Shawn Wilbourn picked up his second postseason award in as many weeks as he was named the 2023 ACC Women's Coach of the Year after leading Duke to another historic and successful outdoor season that featured an ACC Championship, 13 NCAA qualifiers, 33 top-five program marks set and four program records broken.
The distinction, which comes on the heels of Wilbourn being crowned the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Southeast Region Women's Coach of the Year, is Wilbourn's second in three seasons as he was also tabbed the ACC's Women's Coach of the Year in 2021.
In his third year at the helm, Wilbourn guided the Duke women to its second overall, and first outright, ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championship in three seasons. The Blue Devil women won the title going away as they totaled a resounding and ACC-record 145.5 points, breaking the previous record of 134 by Florida State in 2019. The 2023 campaign also saw Wilbourn lead the Blue Devils to their highest USTFCCCA ranking in program history, checking in at No. 4 in the Week 2 rankings.
Additionally, under his leadership, Wilbourn helped Duke qualify a school-record 16 athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the second straight season – 13 on the women's side across 10 events – where the Blue Devil women tallied two USTFCCCA All-America First Team honors (5,000m and 4x400m relay), four second-team accolades (400m, high jump, javelin and long jump) and four honorable mention honors (800m, 1500m, 3,000m steeplechase and javelin).
