After two weeks of competition, both Virginia Tech track and field squads remained ranked in the latest USTFCCCA NCAA Division I National Rankings. The Tech men stay at No. 13, while the Hokie women sit at No. 18 in the country. In the preseason poll, both squads were ranked 13^th in the nation.

Five Hokies currently own NCAA marks on the men’s side. Senior Yavgeniy Olhovsky (pole vault), junior Hunter Hall (pole vault), sophomore Marcel Lomnicky (weight throw), sophomore Keith Ricks (60m dash) and freshman David Wilson (triple jump) all established NCAA provisional marks at the Hokie Invitational last weekend.

On the women’s side, seniors Queen Harrison and Kristi Castlin finished one-two in the 60-meter hurdles with NCAA automatic-qualifying times at the Hokie Invite. Harrison provisionally qualified in the 400-meters, and freshman Ogechi Nwaneri earned a provisional mark in the 60-meter dash as well at the meet.

The Hokies hit the road this weekend for the Penn State National in University Park, Pa., on Friday and Saturday. Results will be available on hokiesports.com.
