Roanoke College to Host Two-Day Weekend Event
SALEM, Va. --- Lynchburg College on the men's
side and Roanoke College women's contingent will each be looking to
protect the conference indoor championship crowns they claimed
earlier this year another set of victories at the Old Dominion
Athletic Conference (ODAC) Outdoor Track and Field
Championships.
The two-day affair kicks off at the C. Homer Bast Track at Roanoke
College on Friday, April 18, with field events beginning at 1:00
p.m. and track events starting at 3:00 p.m. Competition will
continue on Saturday, April 19, with field events starting at 10:00
a.m. and the track events beginning at 1:30 p.m.
On the men's side, Lynchburg has reigned in men's track & field
for over 10 seasons and will try to win their 11th straight title
in 2008. It will not be a runaway victory for the Hornets this year
as Bridgewater is hungry to take the title. The last time Lynchburg
lost was to Bridgewater in 1997. Sneaking up to both teams will be
Washington and Lee and Roanoke College.
For the women, this was a short but electrifying outdoor
season. School records were broken at almost every
institution and several ODAC athletes are already finding
themselves on the NCAA Qualifying list. Roanoke College will be
entering the outdoor championships as the 2008 ODAC Indoor
Champions and 2007 defending ODAC Outdoor Champions.
