Men move up two spots in latest track coaches poll

The Virginia Tech men’s track and field squad moved up two slots to No. 22 in the country, while the women’s team moved up one spot to No. 9 in the nation in the latest United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll.

The squads will split up this weekend, as the sprinters, throwers and some of the distance crew will head to Atlanta, Ga., for the Georgia Tech Invitational on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the distance unit, along with the pole vaulters, will travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., for the Tar Heel and Aggie Classic.
