Notre Dame star sets NCAA record at ACC Championship

Who is the most talented athlete that was enrolled at Notre Dame during the 2020-21 school year?

If you answered with star-linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah then you are wrong.

Yared Nugusa is a name you should get to know if you don’t already because he certainly has a chance to be headed to the Olympics later this year.

Nuguse, a senior runner that stars in both cross country and track and field, put on a show at the opening night of the ACC Track and Field Championship in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Nuguse ran a 3:34:68 1500-meter dash in the prelim which qualified him for the Olympic A standard, set an all-time ACC record, and set an all-time NCAA record for the event.

Yared Nuguse.

If you don’t know the name yet then get familiar with it now because you very well might be rooting for him at the next Olympics.
