GREENSBORO, N.C. – North Carolina's Daniel McArthur has been named ACC Men's Field Co-Performer of the week after a record-setting outing at the Virginia Tech Invitational in Blacksburg, Va. on Saturday.

McArthur, a senior from Mooresville, N.C., won the men's shot put competition with a new personal-best mark of 66-9.25 (20.35 meters) to extend his own North Carolina school record. McArthur had previously set the UNC's men's indoor shot put record twice during the 2019 season, breaking four-time Olympian Vikas Gowda's 14-year-old record to top the charts.

The reigning ACC Indoor Champion in the shot put, McArthur currently leads the conference and holds the second-best mark nationally in the event this season.

McArthur's recognition marks the first ACC weekly honor for the Tar Heels this season and the second ACC weekly honor of the senior's career.
