Hokie Alum Kristi Castlin Qualifies for Olympics

Tech alum and hurdler Kristi Castlin will rep both the red, white, and blue and the maroon and orange in Rio next month. I assume the olympics are still happening at that time.

All right. Great to have a hokie to watch for in the 100 hurdles at Olympics !

"former" hokie?

I thought only Marcus was a former hokie.

truth

Marcus Davis? OH yeah, I remember him. Terrible blocker downfield but nearly broke a receiving record.

Came to this thread just to make sure someone had pointed this out. We don't use "former" in this context.

2026 Season Challenge: TBD
Previous Challenges: Star Wars (2019), Marvel (2020), Batman (2021), Wrasslin' (2022)

Correct, not former, should have said track and field alum

As with the Marines, there are no former Hokies, only Hokies and dead Hokies

.....and Marcus

Should we start a donation drive for bug spray?

My dad texted me stating that there was a Hokie that got 3rd place in backstroke but just missed out on making the cut (didn't catch the name).

I think it was 4th we had a hokie qualify for the 100 fly for hungary as well

Taylor, looking desperately throws it deep..HAS A MAN OPEN DANNY COALE WITH A CATCH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FIVE!!!!....hes still open

Athletic and hot is a great combination. Somebody call the Wheaties people.

You go, Kristi!

A picture is worth a thousand words. A gif is worth a million.


With all Hokie respect,
she looks really fast.

What about David Wilson, is he still trying to qualify for the olympics? Haven't heard much about him lately

How bout we introduce him to Kristi and start "engineering" the next batch of Super Fullers?

pretty sure an actual Fuller would have to be part of that equation

But which one do you choose?

Here lies It's a Stroman Jersey I Swear, surpassed in life by no one because he intercepted it.

Mama Fuller? I mean, she did pretty well the first 4.
