# Virginia Tech Hokies track and field

The Virginia Tech Hokies track and field team is the track and field program that represents Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The Hokies compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. The team is based in Blacksburg, Virginia at the Johnson / Miller Track Complex.
The program is coached by Ben Thomas. The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.
Queen Claye won the 2010 women's The Bowerman, becoming the only Virginia Tech athlete to win the award.
Spyridon Jullien is the Hokies' only four-time NCAA champion, achieving two titles each in the weight throw for distance and hammer throw.

## Postseason
