SOUTH BEND – An all-around team effort from top to bottom proved to be the difference, as the No. 21-ranked Virginia Tech men’s track and field team claimed the 2017 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Indoor Track and Field Championship team title Saturday afternoon at Notre Dame’s Loftus Sports Center.
The Hokies scored 109 points, beating out in-state rival Virginia by 11 points. Florida State came in third with 86 points, while Clemson (76) and Syracuse (47) rounded out the top five, placing fourth and fifth, respectively.
With Saturday’s win, the men’s squad claimed its fourth ACC indoor title – all of which have come since 2011 under Dave Cianelli, Tech’s director of track and field and cross country.
