EUGENE, Ore. (theACC.com) – Clemson graduate student Shantae Foreman and Florida State senior Shenese Walker won gold medals for the Atlantic Coast Conference at the NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday, June 13.
 
Walker became the first student-athlete from a current ACC school to win the women’s 100-meter dash national championship since Miami’s Lauryn Williams in 2004. Walker, the ACC record holder in the event, ran a 10.88-second race to earn the title of the nation’s fastest woman. She also became the first Florida State student-athlete to ever win the national championship in the 100 meters.
 
Walker had a phenomenal spring, winning the ACC titles in both the 100 and 200-meter dash. The senior also set the ACC record in the 100-meter dash at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational in Gainesville, Florida, running a 10.80-second race.
 
Foreman posted the best triple jump mark in the nation on Saturday evening, leaping 14.24 meters (46-8.75). She fell just shy of the ACC record (14.25 meters) on her way to becoming the first ACC student-athlete to win the national title in the triple jump since Clemson’s Patricia Mamona won back-to-back crowns in 2010 and 2011. Foreman won the event by 3.5 inches over Oregon’s Sharifa Davronova.
 
At the 2026 ACC Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Foreman won the triple jump with a mark of 13.37 meters (43-10.25). She also earned first-team All-ACC honors in the long jump and competed in the 100-meter dash.

Foreman’s gold medal-winning effort helped Clemson finish atop the ACC standings at the national meet, tied for 15th place with 20 points. Florida State tied for 19th with 15 points, while Duke and Stanford tied for 24th with 11 points each.
