BLACKSBURG – Following months of preparation and training fueled by a collective desire to take the Virginia Tech track and field program to new heights, the Hokie coaching staff, led by 16-year coach Dave Cianelli, is optimistic for the new season.
The Hokies open their 2017 campaign in four weeks, as it plays host to the Virginia Tech Invitational on Jan. 13-14, at Rector Fieldhouse, in Blacksburg. Leading up to the two-day event, HokieSports.com will interview each event coach to discuss the excitement, challenges and expectations that await this year.
Most recently, we sat down with pole vault coach Bob Phillips.
