Head Coach Sergio Lopez Miro
"I think we did well at ACCs with room for improvement. There were multiple podiums and school records broken which is very exciting. We had a good number of athletes qualify for NCAAs and the ones who did not are going to the last chance meet in Tennessee next week to try and qualify. In a month, we will be at NCAAs and are looking forward to it. As always, thanks for your support and go Hokies!"
