Philo Germano ran a strong 10,000-meter run, finishing second in the 10k and finding his way onto the podium to highlight day one of the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

In addition to the 'Cuse heavy men's race, Shannon Malone picked up the first points of the meet for the women, placing fourth in the women's 10k final – her best conference meet finish of her career – crossing the line in 34:49.19.
Her sister Mary Malone also turned in a top-10 performance in the event, finishing in 36:17.55. Anna Rohrer of Notre Dame won the race in 33:22.05.
Adam Palamar was the top-finisher on the day for 'Cuse, winning his heat in the 1500-meter prelims and posting the best time across both heats heading into Sunday's final. Palamar finished in 3:44.85 to move on.
Danielle Delgado also advanced in her event, taking fifth in the 400-meter hurdles prelims with a time of 58.50.
