BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech track and field and cross country director Dave Cianelli announced Tuesday that Allie Zolkiewicz has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Hokies for the 2018-19 season.

“I am looking forward to working with Allie,” head cross country and distance coach Ben Thomas said. “She has very good 400 meters speed and I believe she will turn into an excellent 800 runner in our program. As she gets aerobically stronger, she will be very competitive in the ACC in the middle distances.”

A native of Sykesville, Maryland, Zolkiewicz comes to Blacksburg as the reigning MPSSAA champion in the 500 meters and 4x800 meters, while finishing runner up in the 400 and 800 this past spring.
