GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Two NCAA champions – Florida State men’s hurdler Trey Cunningham and Virginia Tech women's middle-distance runner Lindsey Butler – have been named the 2021-22 Atlantic Coast Conference Scholar-Athletes of the Year for Indoor Track and Field and lead the sport’s All-ACC Academic Teams announced on Wednesday.
This year’s Men’s and Women’s All-ACC Academic Indoor Track and Field Teams include more than 100 student-athletes who earned All-ACC honors and combined for 43 All-America placements at last month’s NCAA Championships.
Florida State’s Cunningham becomes the first Indoor Track and Field student-athlete to be named the sport’s ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year three consecutive years. The graduate student from Winfield, Alabama, was recently named the ACC Men’s Indoor Track Performer of the Year for the second time (also 2020) after winning the NCAA title in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 7.38 that stands as the second-fastest in NCAA history and is just 0.03 seconds off the all-time collegiate record.
Cunningham is the only 60-meter hurdler in NCAA history to post four times of 7.42 or faster, including his time of 7.40 during the ACC Championships preliminaries that set a meet and (then) overall conference record. He is the first five-time single-event champion in ACC Indoor Championships history and the first Florida State student-athlete to be listed on The Bowerman watch list in three different academic years.
The ACC Men’s Indoor Track Performer of the Year and the USTFCCCA South Region Indoor Men’s Athlete of the Year, Cunningham is pursuing a graduate degree in Sport Management. He is currently eligible for inclusion on the Dean’s List for a fifth time and is a four-time member of the ACC Honor roll.
Butler capped a sensational junior Indoor season by capturing the NCAA gold medal in the women’s 800 meters with a facility record time of 2:01.37 at the Birmingham CrossPlex. That followed her first-place showing at the ACC Championships at Virginia Tech’s Rector Field House, where Butler posted a winning time of 2:01.23 that set a meet, facility and school record and stands as the second-fastest women’s 800 meters in ACC history.
Butler, who hails from Corning, New York, also ran a 4:29.89 split on the Hokies’ DMR team that set a meet and facility record at the ACC Championships with a winning time of 10:53.75. She was chosen the ACC Women’s Indoor Track Performer of the Year in a vote of the league’s head coaches.
An Industrial and Systems Engineering major, Butler is a four-time member of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll at Virginia Tech and has been named to the Dean’s List three times. She is eligible for a third selection to the ACC Academic Honor Roll at the end of the current school year.
The ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards were established in September of 2007 to be awarded annually to the top junior or senior student-athlete in their respective sports. Candidates for the awards must have maintained a 3.0 grade point average for their careers, as well as a 3.0 for each of the last two semesters.
Minimum academic requirements for selection to the All-ACC Academic Team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. Athletic achievements during the most recent season are also considered in selecting the All-ACC Academic Team.
The ACC Honor Roll, which recognizes all conference student-athletes with a grade point average of 3.0 for the current academic year, will be released in July.
The 2021-22 All-ACC Academic Indoor Track and Field teams, including each student-athlete’s major of study, are listed below.
