ROCHESTER, N.Y. --- The ODAC's contingent of 17 track & field stars earned 10 total All-American honors and set a pair of conference records following three days of competition at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted by St. John Fisher University in Rochester, N.Y.

Eight of the athletes carrying league-member banners finished eighth or better in championship events to account for 10 All-American honors. Bridgewater College sprinter Adalia Coleman and University of Lynchburg mid-distance runner Sam Llaneza accounted for two honors each. Coleman finished fourth in both the 200-meter dash and sixth in the 100-meter dash, while Llaneza placed fourth and sixth in the 1,500-meter and 800-meter runs, respectively.

Two new records belong to Virginia Wesleyan University jumper Geni Roberts and Eastern Mennonite University multi-event athlete Ray Ray Taylor as part of their All-American performances. Roberts is the new standard-bearer in the men's triple jump at 15.31 meters, snapping the record set by Lynchburg's James Walker in 2007. Taylor placed third in the heptathlon with 5,040 points collected over the seven-event discipline. That broke the previous league record of 4,951 points set by former Lynchburg star Megan Wiseman in 2003.

Lynchburg athletes accounted for two more All-American honors. Aniya Seward finished sixth in the women's 100-meter hurdles at 13.94 seconds, while distance runner Frank Csorba stopped the watches seventh in the men's 5,000-meter run at 14:22.66.

The remaining two All-American marks belong to Shenandoah University thrower Tucker Kindig and Washington and Lee University pole vaulter Evan Langhammer. Kindig chimed in eighth in the hammer throw at 58.17 meters (190-10.00), while Langhammer closed his rookie season tied for fourth in the pole vault at 4.75 meters (15-7.00).
