Outdoor Track 2022

Hokies Outdoor Track starts today with the Hokies sending athletes to three different meets.

Raleigh Relays - 3/24/22-3/26/22
So far only the distance and throws start lists are posted. The sprints will be posted after seeding is done at check-in. This meet attracts a ton of athletes. I was surprised to see how many sections were being run for some of the distance events like 15 for the 1500m and 10 for the men's 5000 meters. A lot of new names so we will see how they do.

Texas Relays
Rachel Baxter and Julia Fixsen are in Austin, TX to compete with some of the best in the women's pole vault.

The rest of the field is made up non-collegiate athletes with international competition experience.

2. Katerina Stefanidi - Katerina is from Greece originally and is a Stanford graduate. 2012 Outdoor NCAA champion, 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist, etc etc. She is very well decorated internationally.
3. Jenn Suhr - three time Olympian, 2012 Gold Medalist and 2008 Silver Medalist, World Indoor Record Holder, 5th at the last Olympic Trials. Oh and she turned 40 in February.
4. Anicka Newell - two time Olympian for Canada
5. Emily Grove - Has competed internationally but has not had the same level of success as the other non-collegiate athletes.
The pole vault event is scheduled for 3/26.
