LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Day two of the 2025 ACC Indoor Track & Field Championships saw several big performances by the Irish.

Maya Collins posted a school record time of 7.35 in the 60m dash and earned a spot in the final with a seventh-place finish on Sunday. The final is set to take place on Monday at approximately 1:20 p.m.
Daelen Ackley and Michael Danzi had to wait for a review before the pair knew for certain that they were through to the final in the men’s one mile race. Ackley had the fastest time of the day in the preliminaries with a 3:59.10. Danzi posted the third-fastest time of the day and made it to the final with a 4:00.06 in the prelims.
