Tallahassee, Fla. – Florida State men’s cross country student-athlete Ferghal Curtin was named the ACC Men’s Performer of the Week following his victory at the Covered Bridge Open on Friday in Boone, N.C.
The graduate transfer from Charleston Southern made his debut in the Garnet and Gold by finishing first in the men’s 8K with a time of 24:52.25. The Cork, Ireland, native, was in control the entire race and was the lone runner to break the 25-minute barrier, winning by nine seconds.
“This is a great honor for Ferghal,” FSU head coach Bob Braman said. “He’s as focused as any runner I’ve ever coached. This is the beginning of a special season for him.”
Curtin led an FSU effort that saw five runners in the top 11, securing the title with a total of 32 points.
The Seminoles will face Tennessee in a dual on Sept. 16, back in Boone, N.C.
