TALLAHASSEE - Florida State men's track and field distance runner David Mullarkey was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Performer of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.

Mullarkey set a new school record in the 3,0000-meter run, establishing a new personal best at 7:42.89 at the John Thomas Terrier Classic in Boston, Massachusetts on Friday. Mullarkey erased the time that was set by Ahmed Muhammed in 2022 at 7:51.15. His time is currently the fastest in the ACC and seventh nationally.

"I'm so proud of David," said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. "He had an amazing weekend with his elite 3,000-meter run and his 3:59 mile anchor on the distance medley relay."

Mullarkey also contributed to the DMR that earned a time of 9:36.76 and is now the second-fastest in school history.
