Track and Field 4x400 Relay Named PNC Achievers Student-Athletes of the Week
5/1/2023 4:17:00 PM | Track & Field
DURHAM – The Duke track and field women's 4x400m relay has been tabbed the PNC Achievers Student-Athletes of the Week following their historic performance at the Penn Relays this past weekend.
After booking its spot in the final following a preliminary round time of 3:39.74, Duke's relay of freshmen Julia Jackson and Lauren Tolbert, graduate student Madison Mulder and sophomore Megan McGinnis raised the bar once again, turning in a historic performance.
The Blue Devil quartet shaved 12 seconds off Friday's preliminary time and turned in a blistering ACC and school-record finish of 3:27.14 – currently No. 6 nationally, featuring individual splits of 53.07 (Jackson), 52.05 (Tolbert), 51.85 (Mulder) and 50.19 (McGinnis) seconds.
Duke's time upended the former 17-year-old conference record set by Miami (3:27.85) in 2006, while edging out the program's previous fastest time of 3:28.27 that was registered at the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
With the regular season now complete, the Blue Devils shift their focus to the postseason, beginning with the 2023 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The three-day conference meet is slated for May 11-13 at the Paul Derr Track & Field Facility in Raleigh, N.C.
PNC Achievers is a student honors platform that is active at nearly 20 schools and universities across PNC Bank's service area. Honorees are selected locally by designated panels at each respective school, using a set of criteria that includes athletic accomplishments, academic achievement, community service and student leadership.
