GREENSBORO, N.C. – Virginia Tech national champion Irena Sediva was named the 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Field Performer of the Year, as the league announced its track and field postseason award winners Friday.
Sediva, a sophomore from Pribram, Czech Republic, won the honor as voted upon by the league’s coaches. She won the national championship in the javelin last week at the 2015 NCAA Division Track and Field Championships held in Eugene, Oregon.
Sediva trailed going into her sixth and final throw at the NCAA meet, but she set a school and ACC record with a toss of 192 feet, 9 inches to claim the title over Texas Tech’s Hannah Carson.
