As the 2021 calendar year comes to a close, Virginia Tech Athletics spent the month of December celebrating the Hokies’ standout achievements from the past 12 months in a campaign called “Moments of Excellence.”

The “Moments of Excellence” campaign serves as a look back to the historic highlights and memorable accomplishments in Tech Athletics during 2021. 

The men’s outdoor track and field program had a stellar performance from sprinter Cole Beck, who won gold in the 100-meter dash.

Three days of brilliant track and field performances from the Hokies culminated as the Hokies earned themselves second- and seventh-place team finishes.

“Fantastic meet by our team,” Director of Track and Field Dave Cianelli said. “We fought to the very end, and with the people we brought to this meet, we got 100% out of each person. To finish second with the men was a great effort. This outdoor season our team has been hit with some injuries and illness, but that is life, and you deal with it. I am so proud of how this team has persevered this spring and performed here this week.” 

The runner-up finish for the men’s team marks the sixth consecutive outdoor championships in which the Hokies have finished in the top three on the men’s side.

Beck followed his preliminary pole win in the 100m with a school record and title-winning performance, posting a time of 10.11 seconds. His time broke the previous Virginia Tech record of 10.14 seconds, set by Darrell Wesh in 2013.
