In 2026, Davis led Shenese Walker to historic season. Under the guidance of Davis, Walker earned four gold medals, two school and acc records in addition to two NCAA National Titles all in one season.

Walker capped off her senior season with two national titles in the indoor 60 and outdoor 100-meters, becoming the first ACC women’s sprinter to sweep both titles in the same year. The St. Thomas Jamacia native won her first career Indoor National title on March 14 in Arkansas. The four-time first-team All-American breezed through the preliminaries with a blistering time of 7.07, which stands as a new conference and school record. Walker's first round time is the 13th-fastest time in collegiate history and fifth all-time in Division I history
During the outdoors, Walker opened at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational in the 100 meters, finishing second with a school and ACC record time of 10.80 seconds. The mark stood as the second-fastest time in the world for nine consecutive weeks. Walker remains the fastest Jamaican in the world this year and ranks fifth all-time in collegiate history and eighth in Jamaican history. Walker continued her momentum into the postseason, capturing her second straight gold medals in the 100 and 200 at the ACC Outdoor Championships en route to being named the Women’s MVP for the second consecutive year. Walker qualified for her third and final NCAA Outdoor National Championship in the 100, before notching her second consecutive national title of the year after before edging out world leader and collegiate record holder Adaejah Hodge of Georgia in the finals with a winning time of 10.88.
In addition to Walker’s success, the women’s sprints scored a total of 47 points at the ACC Indoor Championships.
