Track and field names new assistant coaches
The Virginia track and field program announced the hiring of Ron Garner and Kimberlee Turko as assistant coaches to head coach Randy Bungard yesterday.

Before that, he was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Illinois for six and a half years. He was previously an assistant coach at Clemson and Christopher Newport.
Turko, a 2002 University graduate, earned All-ACC honors in the heptathlon and the 60-meter hurdles during her Virginia career. She led the team in the 100-meter high hurdles in 2000 and 2001.
