Several members of the Cavalier track and field team won ACC titles at this past weekend's championship meet.
Sophomore Meghan Briggs not only set a personal record, but her throw of 49.67 meters in the javelin won her first place. Senior David Lewis became the fifth Cavalier in history to win the decathlon, and sophomore Stephanie Garcia, who also works for The Cavalier Daily, claimed the ACC title in the 3,000 meter steeplechase with a time of 10:17.38.
Junior Yemi Ayeni successfully defended his ACC title in the discus, and junior Andrew Jesien won the 1,500-meter run.
The men's team finished fourth in the overall standings with 94.5 points, and the women finished fifth with 92. Virginia next competes in the Penn Relays Thursday through Saturday in Philadelphia.
