This event will be important for qualifying for the East Regional where an athlete needs to be in the top 48 in the region as an individual or top 24 as a relay. The top 12 individuals and top 12 relays from each region move on to the NCAA final. A lot of Hokies are in good shape, but a couple are on the bubble so good times would be very helpful.

Multisport athletes don't compete at regionals, the top 24 nationally go straight to the NCAA final.

Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law, No Horus eye
No one came to cuff you they just handed you the chain
Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king
