Hokies shatter multiple pool records during the last day of Invitational

BLACKSBURG – The Hokies have concluded the third and final day of the Virginia Tech Invitational. The team set six pool records in the evening session. Sam Tornqvist, Emma Atkinson, Carles Coll Marti, and the men's 400 free relay shattered the CAC's previous best times. Teagan Moravek and Noah Zawadzki broke the pool record in the 1 Meter session. Moravek scored 354.30 and Noah Zawadzki scored 426.75, a school record. Multiple swimmers moved into the Virginia Tech All-Time Top 10, as well as the best times in the country.
 
HEAD COACH SERGIO LOPEZ MIRO
"Today was a very good meet. We had quite a few pool records and some of our best in-season times, ever. I am pretty excited. I think the team had great energy. We're glad Duke and South Carolina came and had a chance to race. We have finalized our team for ACC's, so now we will get ready to travel to Atlanta."
