TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Ruby Stauber and Trey Cunningham each picked up their first ACC Performer of the Week honors of the outdoor season. Stauber took home the ACC Women’s Track Performer of the Week while Cunningham earned ACC Co-Men’s Track Performer of the Week.
“Trey put together one of the top season-opening times in collegiate history on Saturday, and he continues to improve every time he takes the track,” Head Coach Bob Braman said. “Ruby has been a model of consistency throughout the indoor and outdoor season. She lost a chance to run a fast time at the Florida Relays, but she came back and put together one of her best times of her career this past weekend.”
In her first season with the Noles, Stauber has made an immediate impact. This past weekend, Stauber took fourth in the 800m run with a time of 2:03.54 at the Tom Jones Memorial. It was her fastest race since 2017, and she is now tied for fifth on the FSU all-time top ten list. Her time is the fastest in the ACC by over a second, and she has the 10th-fastest time in the country this season.
In his first race since Mar. 12 at the NCAA Indoor Championships, Cunningham picked up right where he left off. Cunningham clocked in at 13.22 in the 110m hurdles in the preliminary race. That time is currently the fastest in the world and is tied for 10th on the NCAA all-time list in the event.
The Noles will be back in action this Friday and Saturday at the Virginia Challenge.
