The team racked up a total of 86.68 points in the computer-based rankings which were based on the 2015 outdoor performances from each team's top talent and top marks from the current outdoor season.
CARDS SWEEP ACC WEEKLY FIELD HONORS
After turning in impressive performances at the USF Invitational, Javen Reeves and Bre'Yana Wash earned weekly ACC honors. Both student-athletes posted marks in their events that currently rank first in the nation. Reeves won the high jump with a personal best mark of 2.20m (7-2.50) which was just shy of the school record of 2.23m (7-3.75) set by Tone Belt. Bre'Yana Wash was victorious in the long jump with a personal best mark of 6.30m (20-8) just shy of the school record of 6.34m (20-9.75) set by Charachesicia Lockhart.
CARDS OPEN OUTDOOR SEASON WITH A BOOM

On Friday, Caitlin Gilmore won the hammer throw while Javen Reeves (high jump) and Bre'Yana Wash (long jump) turned in impressive performances that were just shy of existing records.
