You don't have to agree about the student athlete thing-- it's already been

decided for you. Do the research I know exactly what Harrison and Tincher did. Also, not even close. Harrison's gold medals are not VT medals and weren't won in NCAA competition. So they don't accrue to VT. Women's final four. Way better than a single entry, and quick first round loss, in the CWS. it's not even a debate. So, Liz Kitley and Michael Vick are #1 and #2 in some order. Everyone else lags behind, significantly.

Spyridon Julian was an all american all 4 years he was here and two time
Hokebury 01/23/24 12:48 PM ET
I'd probably put Queen Harrison above him though.

StautonHokie 01/23/24 10:07 AM ET
Don't forget Chris Smith, Best men's basketball player Tech ever had.
MR TECH 01/23/24 09:43 AM ET
I think in terms of individual achievement that would be the list ...
vt90 01/23/24 08:28 AM ET
Don't forget Carroll Dale as a Hokie & Gr. Bay Packer**
George Baylor 01/23/24 08:09 AM ET
Need separate one for individual vs team sports
hokiepro 01/23/24 07:10 AM ET
And maybe pre-2000 and post-2000 players **
DGHOKIE 01/23/24 10:57 AM ET
Tough one but has to include Frank Loris **
DGHOKIE 01/23/24 06:52 AM ET

Queen Harrison, Bruce Smith, Michael Vick, Dell Curry, Bimbo Coles**
Hokietech 01/23/24 06:57 AM ET
There is no world in which Bimbo makes it over Liz. Not even close.
King of Hokies 01/23/24 09:22 AM ET
Bold statements.

King of Hokies 01/23/24 05:41 PM ET
What are you talking about wrt Queen?
hokiepro 01/24/24 01:23 AM ET
Yes, she did. We also have plenty of field athletes that won multiple NCAA
King of Hokies 01/24/24 12:51 PM ET
I agree individual & team are very different
hokiepro 01/24/24 04:54 PM ET
I was referring to the Olympic golds, not the NCAA ones. People act like
King of Hokies 01/25/24 01:11 AM ET
She didn’t win any Olympic gold
hokiepro 01/25/24 06:30 AM ET
Correct...Queen never won an Olympic medal.
vthokieq 01/25/24 08:12 AM ET
Nothing has been decided for me at all.
vthokieq 01/23/24 05:49 PM ET
The ACC decided it. Liz has received the Woman Scholar Athlete of the year
King of Hokies 01/23/24 11:57 PM ET
Ah...I see now...you're trying to be cute.
vthokieq 01/24/24 06:39 AM ET
No argument from me on Liz's worthiness but Bimbo is there.
Hokietech 01/23/24 12:28 PM ET
Lol, everyone telling me to study these athletes that I already know
King of Hokies 01/23/24 05:45 PM ET
This is getting embarrassing for you. A King should have a research staff
hokiepro 01/25/24 08:37 AM ET
Probably because you don't seem to know as much as you think you do.
vthokieq 01/24/24 06:43 AM ET
Tincher definitely surpasses Liz. AT won numerous national awards and of
86TechHokie 01/23/24 12:18 PM ET
Sorry, she played a team sport and her teams never got that far on a
King of Hokies 01/24/24 12:01 AM ET
LOL…she literally pitched 14 shutout innings in WCWS
hokiepro 01/25/24 08:31 AM ET
Uh...you're embarrassing yourself now.
vthokieq 01/24/24 06:48 AM ET
Thank you. Plus she led Tech to it's only 2 ACC tournament championships.
86TechHokie 01/24/24 07:54 AM ET
The only thing the recent softball teams accomplished greater than AT teams
hokiepro 01/25/24 08:34 AM ET
Tincher feat**
TomTurkey 01/23/24 03:41 PM ET
Will wait until Lewis finishes his VT career. Was 2018 Junior World Champ**
Va AandM 01/23/24 07:06 AM ET
I would put Queen Harrison on before Kitley
UpperQuad 01/23/24 12:46 AM ET
Liz, Dell, Tyrod, Mike Vick**
ONELLY 01/22/24 11:07 PM ET
Bruce over Dell or Tyrod
hokiepro 01/23/24 07:13 AM ET
Not to mention he went #1 in the NFL draft
EDGEMAN 01/23/24 10:30 AM ET
Bruce is worthy. But this is my personal top 4.**
ONELLY 01/23/24 08:05 AM ET
DeAngelo Hall or Tyrod Taylor**
carhokies 01/22/24 10:44 PM ET
Probably **
