🔼  Still Building! The record book for University of Virginia track and field requires regular updating, partly because of the prowess of the throwers with whom assistant coach Brandon Amo works.

The throws have long been one of the Cavaliers’ strengths, thanks to alums like Filip Mihaljevic, Hilmar Jonsson, Jordan Young, Ethan Dabbs and Claudio Romero, and head coach Vin Lananna wants that to continue. And that's helped Amo build a powerful group.
