Virginia Tech Challenge: Schedule of Events l Live Results l Directions

DURHAM, N.C. - The Duke track and field team will split for the final time this indoor season with five student-athletes traveling to New York, N.Y. for the historic Millrose Games Saturday, Feb. 16, and the remaining contingent headed to Blacksburg, Va., to compete at the Virginia Tech Challenge Friday and Saturday Feb. 15-16.

The men's 4x800 meter relay will face off against some of the stiffest competition in the country in the Bryce Dyce college men's race.  Sophomores Kyle Moran and Nate McClafferty along with freshmen Michal Filipczak and Tommy Meister will chase a school record at the prestigious Armory Track. 

Senior James Kostelnik will also make an appearance as the pacer for the New Balance men's two-mile run featuring Bernard Legat, Evan Jager and Cam Levins.  Kostelnik will rabbit at 4:00 minute mile pace for the first 1,200m of the race. 

Live coverage of both events will be available on ESPN3.  There will also be a tape delay edited show aired on ESPN Sunday Feb. 17 from 6-8 p.m.

The remaining Blue Devils will make the familiar trip to Blacksburg, Va., to compete in the Virginia Tech Challenge Friday and Saturday.

Four Blue Devils in the group will make their 2013 debut including senior thrower Austin Gamble.  Gamble returns to the track program this spring after taking a hiatus to focus on football during his junior year.  In 2010, he was the first Duke NCAA qualifier in the men's discus and is the current program record holder with a personal best throw of 181-5.50 (55.30).  He is registered to compete in the shot put this weekend.    

Junior Phil Fairleigh and senior Megan Deakins will also return to the track for the first time in 2013, competing in the men's and women's 3,000m.  Farleigh will be joined by freshman Blake Udland. 

The final Blue Devil to make her debut is junior Gabby Levac in the 1,000m.  The Hartland, Wis., native last raced at the 2012 NCAA Cross Country championships where the team finished seventh overall.  She will be joined by junior Brianna Welch and freshman Madison Granger.
