Deysel and Teixeira Earn Weekly Conference Honors After Historic Outings

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami javelin throwers Devoux Deysel and Deisiane Teixeira have been tabbed ACC Field Performers of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

A graduate transfer from Angelo State, Deysel made history in his first meet as a Hurricane — throwing 76.58m, or 251 feet and 3 inches, for a second-place finish and school record.

The Garsfontein, South Africa, native ranks first in the ACC and fifth in the NCAA this season.

Teixeira, a transfer from UNLV, earned a first-place finish at the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational after throwing 53.98m, or 177 feet and 1 inch, to also claim the javelin school record.

Teixeira’s ranking matches Devoux’s – first in the ACC and fifth in the nation for the javelin.
