BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech track and field and cross country director Dave Cianelli announced Wednesday that Miles Green has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Hokies for the 2018-19 season.

“When I first saw Miles, I said he is a natural hurdler” sprints coach Tim Vaught said. “There is no limit to his full potential in the 400 hurdles. I can’t wait to start working with him next fall.”

A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Green comes to Blacksburg as the PIAA runner-up in the 400-meter hurdles, while being ranked No. 1 in in the state for the 400 meters and 400 hurdles.

Green was tabbed a two-time New Balance Nationals All-American, and is preseason No. 5 in the country across all high school athletes in the 400 hurdles. His personal bests are clocking a time of 47.56 seconds in the 400 and a time of 52:81 in the 400 hurdles.

“I felt like Virginia Tech was the best fit for me,” Green said. “I liked the team, the coaches and their overall program. I felt like I could see myself going there and I’m excited for next fall to begin my training with them.”

The Hokies will open their 2018 indoor season at the Nittany Lion Challenge from Jan. 12-13, held at Penn State’s campus in State College.
