BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Tech men’s track and field squad signed Chantilly High School pole vaulter Westley Sun for the 2009-10 season, the squad announced on Friday.
Wesley Sun, a native of Chantilly, Va., took third in the pole vault at the 2009 indoor state meet, while winning the event at the 2009 outdoor region meet for the Chargers. He owns a personal best vault of 15-00. Sun also excelled academically, receiving the AP Scholar Award for his accomplishments in advanced placement classes.
“Wes is a natural vaulter,” Tech pole vault coach Bob Phillips said. “Only some senior year injuries kept him from vaulting into the 16-00 range. We are looking forward to working with him this year.
