LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The University of Louisville track & field teams captured two more individual conference titles on Friday to headline the second day of the 2026 ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Owsley B. Frazier Cardinal Park.

Lucy Fellows earned the first ACC title of her career in the women's heptathlon, while Roman Kuleshov claimed gold in the men's long jump, giving the Cards three individual ACC titles on the weekend thus far.

After the first two days of action at Card Park, the Louisville women hold the lead in the team standings with 36 points through eight events, while the men's team sits in third with 37 points through nine events.

Fellows accrued a total of 5,618 points to take the top spot in the heptathlon, finishing just seven points off her own program record and posting the 19^th-best mark in the NCAA thus far this season. With the victory, the junior also became the first female in program history to win the ACC heptathlon title.

Heading into the final day of competition with the lead, Fellows recorded a long jump mark of 6.06m (19-10.75) (+3.4), a javelin throw mark of 29.74m (97-7), and a personal-best 800m time of 2:18.60 to seal the win.

In the men's long jump, Kuleshov soared out to a mark of 7.90m (25-11) (+2.3) to earn the second conference title of his career and become the first Cardinal to ever win the ACC title in the event. Kuleshov was joined on the podium by Miller Jones, who finished as the runner-up with a final mark of 7.78m (25-6.25) (+2.3).

Fresh off winning the men's pole vault title on Thursday night, KJ Byrd also picked up a point for the Cardinals in the men's long jump, placing eighth with a personal-best mark of 7.40m (24-3.5) as the home team racked up a whopping 19 points in the event.

Kaia Tupu-South rounded out the day's podium finishers for the Cardinals, claiming the silver medal in the women's shot put with a mark of 17.56m (57-7.5) that improved on her No. 3 mark in program history and currently ranks among the top 10 in the NCAA this season.

Ryan Farrell advanced to the men's 800m final on the outdoor oval for the first time in his career, cruising to a heat win with a time of 1:47.82, the second-fastest time recorded in the preliminary round. The redshirt senior will contest the championship final tomorrow afternoon at 5:40 p.m. ET as he seeks the first ACC title of his career on his home track.

The Cardinals also saw the Louisville freshman record fall in the men's 800m on Friday, as Brendan Ruggles clocked a personal-best time of 1:48.81 to take nearly a second off the previous freshman best of 1:49.51 that was set in 2010 by Howard Shepard III.

The ACC Outdoor Championships will come to a close tomorrow with the third and final day of action set to begin at 2:00 p.m. ET with the men's triple jump. The men's 800m final will be the first event of the day on the track for the Cardinals with the championship race set to go off at 5:40 p.m. ET.
