The University of Miami women’s track and field team went to the 2017 ACC Indoor Championships and left as champions for the second straight year.
After winning a year ago by just one point, the Hurricanes defended their 2016 ACC indoor championship in dominant fashion. Miami defeated Clemson by 15 points, scoring 113 points to secure its fourth ACC indoor women's team championship in program history.
“It was awesome,” UM director of track and field Amy Deem said. “They came in with a purpose and a focus. I kept waiting for the bubble to kind of burst – not that I didn’t have confidence in what we could do, but we were just kind of hitting on all cylinders. I am so pleased with the way they handled themselves and their composure and determination to repeat as ACC champions.”
The Canes eclipsed 100 points for the first time since scoring 117 in their 2006 ACC title performance. Miami also won back-to-back ACC indoor championships for the second time in program history, joining the 2005-06 consecutive team titles. With the victory, Deem is the active leader in ACC women’s indoor team titles with four.
“I’m just excited for the team,” Deem said. “I don’t really think about stuff like that, but it’s awesome. I hope it’s an inspiration for the young females out there. It’s tough to be a coach, whether you’re a man or a woman, but hopefully it gives inspiration to women that want to be head coaches.”
Shakima Wimbley made history on Saturday, becoming the first woman in ACC history to win four titles in a single event. The superstar senior, who was named ACC Women’s Track MVP for the second straight year, won her fourth consecutive indoor 200m title with a personal-best time of 22.83 seconds that set an ACC Championship record and ranks third in UM history.
“I’m grateful,” Wimbley said. “I put in a lot of hard work. I trusted in myself and in my training. I trained hard and I went for it. I just keep it simple. I go through my steps, set my blocks, talk about my race plan, mentally and physically prepare and I just go out and do what I can. I don’t really get pressured too easily. I just go out and do what I need to do.”

And the three days of 25 mph winds are going to blow every flower off the half dozen mango and avacado trees in my yard that are in full bloom.
i'll be so pissed if the timing of this front strips all the fruit off all my fruit trees!

The Miami of the last decade, not as tough to suck.

Damn you're a good golfer if you can handle 20 mph cross winds plus, super fast dry greens your ball will probably leave scorch marks in as you putt.

Raize just adds one extra beer every two to three holes for each 5 mph increase in winds.
By the back nine he's teeing off in the wrong direction but the wind is no longer an issue.

Mayock said Isidora had a good combine today...said He moved better than He thought He would.
On a non-Cane note, Christian McCaffrey ran a faster 40 than Cook & Fournette, had a better VJ also, only did 10 reps on the BP though.

Katie Meir is as good as Coach L. She is a very underrated basketball coach. I saw her once at a camp. She really knows her stuff. I could listen to her talk Xs and Os all day.

And I am a huge fan of Coach L.

I am pleased to announce all flowers on mango and avocado trees are still in full bloom and WERE NOT stripped by heavy wins.
A bountiful harvest is still expected.
Thank you all who have worried along with me about this..

I could not sleep last night worried to death about this issues. Thank goodness the blooms are intact.

Besides the 40, I'm interested to see how Njoku tests on the VJ.
