The competition begins on Thursday at 11 a.m. with the men’s javelin throw, followed by finals in the women’s and women’s pole vault, men’s and women’s long jump, and men’s and women’s hammer throw.
The opening men’s decathlon and women’s heptathlon events are also scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Prelims are set for early Thursday evening in three men’s and women’s running events, followed by the women’s 10,000-meter final at 8:10 p.m. and the men’s 10,000m at 8:50.

Florida State’s men are the two-time defending champions, having won the team title at NC State in 2021 and at Duke last season. Miami was the women’s outdoor titleholder last year. The Virginia Tech men and women swept the ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships in February, hosted by Louisville.
One of the featured athletes to watch during the competition is NC State’s Katelyn Tuohy. Tuohy set the NCAA outdoor record for the women’s 5000m at the Sound Running On Track Fest in California on Saturday, which served as her warm-up for this week’s ACC Championships.
Her current time of 15:03.12 is the top time in the country and over 17 seconds faster than the second-place mark in 2023. She broke her own ACC record, which she set last season before claiming the NCAA gold medal in the event.
