Lynchburg Lifts Both ODAC Outdoor Track & Field Titles for Second Straight Season

May 01, 2022

LYNCHBURG, Va. --- For the second time in as many season, the University of Lynchburg was not only home to the ODAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships, but it is the residence of the conference's two trophies with the Hornets securing both the men's and women's crowns. Lynchburg increases its ODAC record total to 30 men's championships, while the Hornets women have lifted four straight prizes and now feature a conference-best 12 women's titles.

Weather played a role in much of Saturday's competition on day two of the championships. Running times and field event marks were lower than expected, especially after eight league records were reset on day one. Still that didn't keep several individuals from putting their best feet forward.

Two more men's records were re-written, both by Lynchburg competitors. Tor Hotung-Davidsen now owns both the overall and championship records in the 800-meter run. He set the overall record earlier this season at 1:49.04. On Saturday, he ran 1:52.44 to take over possession of the championship standard.

Teammate Cooper Hurst staked claim to the men's championship record in the 5,000-meter run. His time of 14:52.20 narrowly eclipsed the standard set by former Bridgewater College standout Jamie Hiegel.

A handful of athletes earned multiple gold medals. Bridgewater's Adalia Coleman won both the women's 100-meter (11.90) and 200-meter (24.95) dashes. Lynchburg's Stephanie Burnett, who was named the ODAC/Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete along with Eastern Mennonite University's Isaac Alderfer, won the 5,000-meter (17:46.96) and 10,000-meter (38:59.93) runs.

Virginia Wesleyan jumpers Jaylyn Lane and Geni Roberts claimed all four horizontal jump titles. Lane donned gold in the women's long (5.74m) and triple (11.77m) jumps, while Roberts won the men's long (7.23m) and triple (14.68m) jumps.

In total, Lynchburg competitors won 16 total events including 10 on the women's side. Bridgewater claimed all three women's sprints in addition to two more men's disciplines. Virginia Wesleyan University was a five-event champion.
