CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Junior Brian Himelright and redshirt freshman Tremanisha Taylor both won All-ACC honors by finishing second in their events on Friday in the second day of action at the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Virginia’s Lannigan Field.

Himelright, an NCAA regional preliminary qualifier last year, just missed winning the title in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, finishing a little more than a second behind winner Jason Cusack of Virginia Tech. Himelright’s time was 8:56.46.

The eight points he earned for the second-place finish moved the Wolfpack men to seventh place in the team standings with 21 points.

Taylor was second in the women's shot put with a throw of 52-feet, 11 ½-inches, followed by senior Lawanda Henry in fourth for the Wolfpack women. Their 13 combined points put the women into sixth place overall with 31 points.
