BLACKSBURG, Va. – Chris Uhle hit a personal best for the third time this season to propel him to a second-place finish in the men's pole vault on the final day of the Hokie Invitational at Rector Field House on Saturday afternoon.

Uhle’s mark of 18’1.25” (5.52m) keeps him in first in the ACC and moves him into third nationally based on marks set prior to this weekend’s meets. In every meet Uhle has competed in this season, he has continued to up his performance and has set a personal best every time. That mark puts Uhle in a tie second place all-time in the Virginia Tech school record books.

In the men’s long jump, David Prince moved into fourth all-time in the Virginia Tech record books after hitting a mark of 23’9” (7.24m). Based on results prior to this weekend’s meet, that mark moves Prince to fourth in the ACC.

Nora McKiver finished in 12th place in the women’s 200-meter race with a time of 24.79 seconds. McKiver’s 12th-place finish was in a field of 42 competitors.
