The University of Louisville women’s track and field athlete, Synclair Savage, has been named the ACC Women’s Field Performer of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. The junior from Kennesaw, Georgia, continues to make waves in the world of women’s track and field.
Savage broke the Louisville school record in the women’s long jump for the second consecutive meet at the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational. She leapt 6.52m (21-4.75) to take first place and beat her previous record of 6.44m (21-1.5) set just two weeks prior at the Cardinal Classic. Her latest mark currently stands fifth nationally and is a testament to her outstanding athleticism.
Not only is Savage a record-breaker, but she is also a champion. In 2022, she won the ACC outdoor championship in the women’s long jump, solidifying her place among the best in the conference.
In addition to her long jump success, Savage also ran a personal-best time of 7.41 in the 60m dash, finishing in second place. This showcases her versatility and demonstrates her ability to excel in multiple events.
The Cardinals will return to competition at the Notre Dame’s Meyo Invitational in South Bend, Indiana, on February 3-4. It will be exciting to see what other records and achievements Savage can add to her already impressive resume.
Fans and spectators can expect to see more from this talented young athlete in the coming weeks and months. As she continues to push herself to new heights, Synclair Savage is a name to watch in the world of women’s track and field.
