Miami-FL. Miami Hurricanes sprinter Ace Malone is making waves on the collegiate track scene, quickly establishing himself as one of the ACC’s most electrifying young talents. The Sophomore standout from Castlerock, once hampered by recurring injuries in high school, is now hitting his stride at just the right time.

Known primarily as a 400-meter specialist, Malone showcased his versatility this past weekend by stepping outside his usual lane—and delivering in dominant fashion. Competing in both the 200 meters and the 4x100-meter relay, Malone crossed the finish line first in each event, helping the Hurricanes secure key points in conference competition.

Malone’s recent performances speak volumes about his development and growing confidence. After spending years working through setbacks, he’s now becoming a cornerstone for a Miami team with big postseason ambitions.

“He’s been locked in this season,” said one Hurricanes assistant coach. “The work he’s put in behind the scenes is starting to pay off, and it’s exciting to watch.”

As the outdoor season heats up, Malone’s momentum could not be better timed. With the ACC Championships on the horizon, he’s not just contributing—he’s becoming a serious threat.

From injury-prone underdog to a rising star on one of the nation’s biggest stages, Ace Malone’s story is still being written. But one thing’s for sure: the Hurricane Sprinter is no longer flying under the radar.
