RALEIGH, N.C. (theACC.com) – Clemson’s men accomplished the task in the most dramatic of fashions, while the Duke women had plenty of room to breathe at the end. But both left the Paul Derr Track as 2023 Atlantic Coast Conference Outdoor Track and Field Champions on Saturday.

The Tigers’ 4x400 relay team of Wanya McCoy, D’Andre Anderson, Cameron Rose and Tarees Rhoden delivered the winning points with a meet-record time of 3:02.25 on the last event of the day as the Tigers’ final score of 92 placed one point ahead of Florida State (91), and 2½ ahead of Louisville and Virginia (89.5). Virginia Tech placed fifth at 84.5.

Duke received a first-place finish by Megan McGinnis, who ran a personal-best 51.42 in the 100 meters and piled up points with podium finishes in the other events to win going away after trailing by 26.5 points entering Saturday’s final session. McGinnis finished with 18 total points in the meet to lead the Blue Devils’ balanced dominant effort.

The ACC men’s title is the 12th for Clemson – but the first since 2004 – and the Tigers’ first men’s championship under current head coach Mark Elliott.

The Blue Devil women continued a run of recent success under current head coach Shawn Wilbourn, whose teams tied for the ACC Outdoor Women’s Championship in 2021, tied for the Indoor Championship in 2022 and narrowly placed second at this year’s Indoor Championship in February.

Duke’s 145.5 points scored were the most by a women’s team in the ACC Outdoor Championships since the conference expanded to 15 teams for the 2014 season. The Blue Devils’ 61-point margin of victory is also the largest since the latest expansion.

The complete team scoring stood as follows:
