Land Earns Field MVP Honors Saturday at ACC Outdoor Championships

CLEMSON, S.C. – Mimi Land and Marlena Wesh collected three all-conference honors Saturday to lead Clemson’s women to a ninth-place finish at the ACC Outdoor Championships in Chapel Hill, N.C. Land was named the ACC’s Most Valuable Field Performer at the conclusion of the championships due to earning the most points. The Tiger men’s team finished 11th to close out the 2014 conference championships.

Florida State swept the team titles, just as the Seminoles did during indoor season. FSU’s men won by a three-point margin over host North Carolina, while the Seminole women were followed in second by Notre Dame and in third by Miami.

Clemson sends a small travel party to Philadelphia next week for the annual Penn Relays.
