Hoos in the Rankings
The initial USTFCCCA Track & Field Ranking Index for the 2024 outdoor season has yet to be released. The first rankings for the outdoor season are scheduled to be announced on Monday, March 25.

Picking Up Speed
The Cavaliers will look to carry momentum from an impressive indoor season which the team earned 23 All-ACC honors and 10 USTFCCCA All-American honors. Those student-athletes achieving NCAA honors include Margot Appleton (First Team), Men’s DMR (First-Team), Women’s DMR (Second Team) and Gary Martin (Second Team).

In addition to postseason accolades, Virginia’s indoor season was one for the record books as 10 UVA indoor records were broken with the women’s DMR breaking the program record three times and Margot Appleton breaking the mile record twice.

Up Next:
Virginia will travel to Raleigh, N.C. to compete at the Raleigh Relays beginning Wednesday (March 28) and running through Saturday (March 30) before returning home to host the Virginia Grand Prix at Lannigan Field on Friday (April 12) through Saturday (April 13).
