BLACKSBURG – The Virginia Tech track and field and cross country director Dave Cianelli announced Monday that Rachel Baxter (Anaheim Hills, California) has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Hokies for the 2017-18 season.

“We are very excited to have Rachel join the squad,” said pole vault coach Bob Phillips. “She had a great visit, and we kept our fingers crossed that we could get her signed. She is already a world-class vaulter in the U-20 age group, and she has the strength and speed to continue jumping higher and have a big impact at the NCAA level and beyond.
