In a resounding declaration of dominance across the collegiate sports world, Virginia Tech has earned the moniker “The Real Everything School,” as they complete an unprecedented academic year marked by championship glory, cultural unity, and an indomitable Hokie spirit.
From the roaring lanes of Cassell Coliseum to the electrified turf of Lane Stadium, Virginia Tech athletes have not just competed—they have conquered. With national titles in wrestling, women’s soccer, and track & field, and top-five finishes in football and men’s basketball, the Hokies have solidified their position as the undisputed kings and queens of college athletics.
But this year’s triumph goes beyond mere medals. It is about grit—true Hokie grit. “To Virginia Tech: Guardians of Grit, Champions of the Hokie Spirit, and Masters of the Game—Your Triumphs Light Up the World, Your Legacy Inspires Generations, and Your Excellence Soars Beyond Limits!” read a banner draped across campus this morning, echoing sentiments from fans and alumni across the nation.
University President Tim Sands declared, “This isn’t just about wins. This is about character, perseverance, and excellence. Our student-athletes represent the heart of Virginia Tech: Ut Prosim—That I May Serve. And this year, they served inspiration to an entire generation.”
Women’s soccer head coach Carla Jenkins, who led the team to its first-ever NCAA Championship, put it simply: “This is the year we didn’t just show up. We showed out.”
Virginia Tech’s football program, under Coach Brent Pry, stunned the ACC with a 12-1 season and a playoff berth, winning hearts across the nation for their tenacity and unified play. Simultaneously, the Hokies wrestling team dominated the mats, earning three individual national titles and bringing home the team championship in a historic upset.
Beyond athletics, the university reported record academic performances among its student-athletes, with 87% maintaining a 3.0 GPA or higher—proving that excellence at Tech doesn’t stop on the field.
The legacy now etched in stone, fans across the country are rallying behind Virginia Tech not just as champions, but as standard-bearers.
As fireworks lit the skies above Blacksburg last night, one thing became clear: The world doesn’t just watch Virginia Tech—they aspire to be them.
The Real Everything School isn’t a title—it’s a truth. And in 2025, that truth wears maroon and orange.
