BLACKSBURG – Have you ever anxiously waited on something?

Well, how about 16 years?

It was announced on Aug. 30 that the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors approved multiple enhancements to Rector Field House, including the construction of a throws area for the highly successful Hokie track and field program. After 16 years, track and field and cross country director Dave Cianelli will finally see his vision come to fruition.

“The Rector Field House project is something that has been discussed since my arrival at Virginia Tech in 2001,” Cianelli said.
