GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Virginia grad student Owayne Owens has been selected the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year for Indoor Track & Field and leads the sport’s 2022-23 All-ACC Academic Team announced on Tuesday.
 
Owens, a native of Montego Bay, Jamaica, is coming off an indoor season in which he earned first-team All-ACC honors in the triple jump and added an exclamation point with a personal best mark of 16.69 meters (54-9.25) was good for a bronze medal at last month’s NCAA Indoor Championships in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
 
The latter effort marked Owens’ highest finish at an NCAA Championship meet and netted first-team All-America honors for the second consecutive season. Also named the Southeast Region Field Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA, Owens ranks second on Virginia’s all-time indoor triple jump list.
 
Academically, Owens is pursuing his graduate degree in Public Policy and Leadership following an outstanding undergraduate tenure at Virginia in which he was named first-team Academic All-America, second-team Academic All-America and earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Team honors. He is a four-time All-ACC Academic team selection and a four-time member of the ACC Academic Honor Roll. He is the first Virginia track and field student-athlete to earn the ACC Scholar-Athlete award for indoor season and the fourth overall.
 
Owens is one of a record number of student-athletes recognized on the 2022-23 All-ACC Indoor Track and Field Academic Team. Academic requirements for selection to the team are a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and a 3.0 cumulative average during one’s academic career. In addition, student-athletes must have competed in the ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships and/or the NCAA Indoor Championships during the most recent season.
