2009 Golden Eagle Track & Field
A record-breaking performance and a pair of Ohio Valley Conference championships highlighted a stunning afternoon for track senior Stephanie Place. The Bristol, Tenn., native took home two separate indoor OVC championships in Charleston, Ill., setting school records in the 3000m with a time of 10:04.39, and the Distance Medley Relay with a mark of 12:21.09. The memorable day was one of many for one of the most decorated track and cross country athletes in Tech history, as Place was a three-time all-OVC recipient in cross country, including winning a conference championship in 2008. In 2010, with one outdoor season of eligibility remaining in track, Place won the OVC 10,000m race, as well. How about that for a career!
