(Nov 5, 2012) - Loudoun County High grad Tommy Curtin helped his NCAA Division I Virginia Tech Hookies places 7th in the ACC cross country meet with an incredible 23:56.3 for five miles. This was in the entire conference! He was part of the Tech team that won their first ever ACC cross country
championships. 

“This is just a most improbable victory for us,” Virginia Tech head coach Ben Thomas said. “On paper there are certainly more talented teams, but today we just found a way. All of the guys fought hard today, this is like a dream being the first Virginia Tech team to win an ACC cross country title.

I have known Tommy for a long time, well since my daughter Sammy and Tommy were in Kindergarden together at Evergreen Mills.  The kids keep getting older, but the parents are staying the same. Great job and keep running.
