Midgett Takes Fourth in Triple Jump at Hokie Invite

Triple Jump Results
 
BLACKSBURG, Va. – Looking to increase his chances of qualifying for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, junior sprinter and jumper Keyandre Midgett logged an impressive performance Saturday afternoon in the triple jump at the Hokie Invitational held at Virginia Tech's Rector Field House.
 
The Portsmouth, Virginia, native and defending SoCon Male Field Athlete of the Week registered a fourth-place distance of 14.86 meters (48'9") for the events, edging closer to the current NCAA-qualifying mark of 51'3". The top 16 triple jumpers nationwide earn an invite to the national event in March and have until March 6 to earn the qualifying distance.
 
Virginia Tech's Chauncey Chambers took first place at 16.14 meters.

Assistant Track and Field Coach Krystle Schade
"Facing tough competition, Keyandre did very well and now has the top two farthest jumps in the Southern Conference."

The Keydets host the VMI Winter Classic next weekend, January 27-28, at the Corps Physical Training Facility.
