126 STUDENT-ATHLETES HONORED
FOREST, Va. --- The Old Dominion Athletic
Conference is pleased to announce the 2013-14 ODAC/StellarOne
Sportsmanship Teams in each of the fall and winter sports sponsored
by the conference. This marks the fifth year the league has
recognized these fine student-athletes for their excellence in
sportsmanship.
This announcement also comes during NCAA Divison III's "D3 Week"
in celebration of the largest division of the NCAA. Division
III is celebrating its 40th anniversary of operation in
2013-14.
“I am pleased that the conference recognizes
student-athletes for their focus on fair play and sportsmanship,"
explained ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston. "The conference
prides itself on positive sportsmanship and encouraging
student-athletes to lead by example. Each one of the honorees has
been selected by the coaches in recognition of their conduct in the
arena. My hat is off to these student-athletes - thanking
them for the example they set for all of us.”
The ODAC has a rich tradition in promoting fair play and good
sportsmanship in each sport across the league. The character
of the conference’s student-athletes on and off the field is
a representation of not only the individuals and teams, but also
the institutions they play for.
“All of us at StellarOne Bank are excited to be an official
corporate sponsor, touching the lives of so many in the Old
Dominion Athletic Conference," said Angela Ross, Chief Branding
Officer for StellarOne.
Below is a summary of the student-athletes representing the
