Clemson Women Make Outdoor National Ranking Debut at No. 21

April 20, 2010

CLEMSON, SC – Fresh off a team championship at the ACC outdoor track & field meet last weekend, the Clemson women made their outdoor debut in the national rankings at No. 21 on Tuesday. The Tigers completed the first-ever indoor and outdoor ACC championship sweep in Clemson women’s track & field history. As a result, the Tigers jumped 30 spots from last week’s national calculations into the top 25. The announcement was made Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Clemson produced three individual champions, one relay champion and an additional 12 all-conference performers last weekend at Rock Norman Track. April Sinkler continued her impressive showing at the conference level by winning both the high jump and long jump, just as she did during the 2010 indoor season. Liane Weber won her first-ever heptathlon crown, her fourth overall ACC championship in the multi-events. The 4x100m relay team of Michaylin Golladay, Stormy Kendrick, Kristine Scott and Jasmine Edgerson took first place in the event to close out a brilliant weekend for the women’s team on Saturday.

The women return to action on Thursday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia for the 116th annual running of the Penn Relays.
