Castlin wins 60 meter hurdles at USA Track & Field Indoor Championship
The Notebook
Former Virginia Tech All-American Kristi Castlin won the 60 meter hurdles at the USA Indoor Track & Field National Championship in Albuquerque, N.M. on Sunday.

Castlin’s winning time of 7.84 in the final was a personal best and is currently the world’s leading time. Castlin, who won her first national championship, will represent the United States at the IAAF World Indoor Track & Field Championship in Istanbul, Turkey from March 9-11.

While at Virginia Tech, Castlin was a seven-time All-American in the hurdles. A three-time NCAA runner-up, Castlin’s seven All-America awards are the most for any woman in Tech track & field history. She was also a three-time ACC Champion.

In addition, another former Hokie All-American, Jared Jodon, tied for seventh in the pole vault with a mark of 17-8.5 (5.40m). As a Hokie student-athlete, Jodon earned All-America honors at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championship with a seventh place finish. He was also the ACC outdoor champion in the pole vault last year.
