CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – While the two have drawn attention nationally all season long, Olivia Markezich and Jadin O’Brien continue to bring home accolades.
Announced by the conference office on Tuesday, Markezich was named the ACC Women’s Indoor Track Performer of the Year and O’Brien was named the ACC Women’s Indoor Field Performer of the Year.
O’Brien repeats as the ACC Women’s Indoor Field Performer of the Year, becoming the first women’s field athlete to win consecutive titles since Duke’s Megan Clark in 2015 and 2016. O’Brien repeated as the NCAA champion in the women’s pentathlon after winning the ACC’s crown just two weeks prior. The Pewaukee, Wisconsin, native broke her own facility record at the TRACK at new balance during the NCAA championships, totaling 4,497 points, surpassing the 4,329 points that she accumulated during the ACC championships.
Markezich earned ACC Women’s Track Performer of the Year honors after winning a pair of ACC championships in the 3,000-meters and the distance medley relay. Markezich was also the runner-up at the NCAA championships in both events. During the regular season, the Woodinville, Washington, native ran the second-fastest 3,000-meter time in NCAA history, clocking in at 8:40.42.
