Wolfe not only won the 5,000-meter event – he set a new meet and league record with a time of 13:13.49. His 10,000-meter time of 28:51.09 is also the fourth fastest in UNC program history.
Elsewhere, Ethan Strand continued his strong season with a third consecutive title in the men’s 1500 meters. Strand won the race with a ferocious comeback, moving up from fourth into the lead in the final 100 meters. He won with a final time of 3:44.78.
On the women’s side, Makayla Paige set a UNC school record with a time of 2:00.21 in the 800 meters, finishing second. Fatima Alanis secured first team All-ACC honors by finishing third in the women’s 10,000 meters with a time of 33:35.63.
In the field, UNC’s Tommy Kitchell won his second ACC title of the season in the shot put, becoming the first Tar Heel in 23 years to win a conference championship in the event, and the first in 24 years to do so in both the indoor and outdoor championships.
Up next for the track and field teams are the NCAA Preliminaries, with the Tar Heels competing the east region. Those will run from May 28-31 in Jacksonville, with the NCAA Championships in Oregon then beginning June 11.
