BLACKSBURG, Va. – Senior Queen Harrison earned the 2010 ACC Women’s Indoor Track MVP, the conference announced on Friday, after record-breaking showings at the ACC Championships on Feb. 25-27 in Blacksburg, Va.

Harrison, already having a terrific 2010 campaign, continued her strong season in the 60-meter hurdles and the 400-meter dash last weekend. The Richmond, Va., native clocked a personal, Virginia Tech and ACC meet record in the 60-meter hurdles with an NCAA automatic-qualifying time of 7.94 seconds, winning her first individual ACC title. The time is currently the top mark in the nation and is tied for seventh-fastest in the world.

Harrison improved on her 400-meter school record to win her second ACC crown of the meet. The Hermitage High alum broke the Tech standard in the race for the third time this season, running a 53.06 at the conference meet. The clocking is currently ranked ninth in the nation.

The Hokies host their final home meet of 2010 on Saturday with the Virginia Tech Final Qualifier, however Harrison is not scheduled to compete. The NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships are set for March 12-13 in Fayetteville, Ark. Results for both meets will be available on hokiesports.com.
