This weekend the NC State track and field team completed its indoor campaign on a high note. The Pack sent a trio of athletes to compete at the NCAA Indoor National Championships in College Station, Texas.
The trio of sophomore Elly Henes, junior Gabriele Cunningham and redshirt senior Joshua Davis all garnered All-American honors.
Henes, who competed in the 5,000-meter run, finished seventh with a time of 16:00.80. In addition to holding the school record in the event, the Cary native also garnered All-American honors during cross country season.
Meanwhile, Cunningham competed in the 60-meter run hurdles. Her time of 8.21 placed her 15th overall and secured her spot as a second-team All-American.
Cunningham had a stellar indoor campaign, setting a school record of 8.05 in the 60m hurdles event earlier in the season. Additionally, she lowered her school record time in the 60-meter dash down to a swift time of 7.31 this season.
On the men’s side, the team was represented by Davis. The Pelham, North Carolina, native took bronze in the weight throw event, recording a throw of 75’ 3.25”.
His effort was enough to secure his third All-American finish in the event. He is also the only NC State male weight thrower to ever finish All-American in the event.
Closing out his final indoor campaign in style, the school record-holder also set an ACC record in the event earlier this year.
Up next, the Pack will regroup and prepare itself for the outdoor track and field campaign that kicks off on March 24 in Winston-Salem at the Wake Forest invite.
