SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The Virginia Tech distance medley relay team’s first-place performance helped put the men’s team in a tie for third place after the first day of the 2017 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Indoor Track and Field Championships held Thursday at Notre Dame’s Loftus Sports Center.
The DMR team of Daniel Jaskowak, Brandon Thomas, Kevin Cianfarini and Neil Gourley ran the event in a time of 9 minutes, 31.05 seconds, which was a little more than two seconds ahead of runner-up Florida State. The Hokies sat in second place after the first three legs of the event, but Gourley passed Clemson’s anchor on the final lap to lift Tech to first place.
