Hokie ClubLONDON, England – Virginia Tech track and field alums Neil Gourley and Queen Harrison both earned medals on Day 2 of the Athletic World Cup.
Gourley, who was added to Great Brittan earlier this week on Thursday, made his first senior debut. Finishing in the 1,500 meters with a time of 3 minutes, 53.24 seconds, which was good enough to place third in the event.
It's no surprise that Gourley was able to compete at a high level, as he ran anchor for the men's DMR team that won the NCAA Indoor Championships earlier this year in March.
Harrison, who is the captain of U.S.A track and field, got off to a rough start in the 100-meter hurdles as she clipped the opening hurdle, which lead to her struggling on the second. The former Hokie kept her composure as she dug deep to finish third with a time of 12.99.
Not the result that @usatf captain @goQueengo wanted but as she says there are @AthWorldCup points up grabs and it's a different dynamic
