LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Wake Forest men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams had a successful opening day to the 2023 ACC Indoor Track & Field Championships as the Demon Deacon men currently sit tied for fifth in the overall team standings.
For the women, junior Addison Berry became the first Deac to garner All-ACC honors as she accumulated 4,015 points in the pentathlon, marking the second-most points in the event in school history. Berry’s stellar pentathlon performance was highlighted by fourth place finishes in the high jump and the shot put, respectively.
Despite a loaded field in the men’s 5,000m, freshman Joe O’Brien clocked 13:57.38 to finish fourth, claiming All-ACC honors in the process.
Graduate student Andrew White had another excellent performance in the weight throw as the Canton, Ohio native tossed 21.60m, finishing fourth.
Overall, the Deacs recorded three top-five finishes between the two programs during day one of the annual event.
