Eric Fox earns the ACC title in the decathlon

"I'm excited about the way both squads came out and competed today," said head coach Dale Cowper. "We fell short of scoring positions in a few places that I was hoping to gain a couple of bonus points. But we are in a solid position heading into day three of the championship tomorrow."

He finished second in the final event (1500m) to take the win by two points over Miami's Andreas Christodoulou. Joe Delgado joined Fox on the medal stand with a third place finish. Delgado faced adversity in the pole vault, dropping four spots to fifth. His win in the final event the propelled him to a third place finish with 6,862 points.
"As the day continued, the decathletes gave us intense highs and lows but ultimately we are ecstatic to see Eric Fox crowned an individual ACC Champion! " Cowper stated. "He and Joe were able to combine for 16 huge points."
Christian Buckley earned second team All-ACC honors with a fifth place finish in the shot put. Buckley threw a personal best throw of 17.74m/58'2 ½". Marcus Jegede also earned second team All-ACC honors in the long jump. Jegede finished a jump of 7.62m/25' for a fourth place finish. In the women's long jump, Alexis Gibbons and Renate van Tonder both earned second team All-ACC honors. Gibbons finished fourth with a mark of 6.08m/19'11 ½" while von Tonder finished fifth with a jump of 6.06m/19'10 ¾".
"We saw a number of outstanding performances in the field events as the day went on," said Cowper. "Christian Buckley was able to pick up All-ACC second team honors in the men's shotput, Marcus Jegede, Alexis Gibbons and Renate van Tonder were each able to earn All-ACC second team honors in the long jump as well."
