Coach Dave Cianelli was awarded both the ACC Men's and Women's Outdoor Coach of the year for the 2016-2017 season. Leading to the awards was a fantastic season which saw both the men and women of VT's outdoor track team win their respective ACC Championship. Cianelli has been with the Hokies for sixteen seasons. Including awards for indoor, outdoor, and cross country, these two recent honors are Coach Cianelli's 12th and 13th ACC Coach of the Year awards. This was the first women's ACC title in nine years, and marked the second consecutive title for the men.
