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.
For those who may not be familiar, grid girls, also known as paddock girls or pit babes, were those glamorous and eye-catching models that used to grace the start lines of various motorsport events. Their main gig was to add a touch of glitz and glamour to the proceedings, holding up placards with the race numbers or names of the drivers and adding an extra dash of excitement for the fans.
Even the shyest of birds occasionally have their spicy moments... deciding to wear a sheer skirt out for a day of shopping was already a bold move, but after picking up a few new toys at his favourite toy store he got a little too carried away and the idea entered his head that trying one out in public would be an exciting way to spend the afternoon. Slipping it in somewhere discrete, not too worried about it being visible through the sheer fabric figuring his tailfeathers and general fluff would do a good enough job hiding it from view, he settled down at a nearby coffee shop. Unfortunately for poor Addie, the toy ended up being considerably more effective than he had expected. Suffice it to say, everyone around had a pretty good idea what was going on, and given his state there wasn't much he could do about it except wait for his body to calm down enough for him to be able to walk away...
Fortunately, this kind of thing is well tolerated and often even enjoyed his his world, so he shouldn't get into much trouble. Judging by the subtle shake of the camera though, we may be viewing this through someone's phone recording... that's what you get for trying out toys in public, Addie!
