The ODAC record books have been consistently challenged this season with more expected to fall over the week. Five events have seen their conference overall benchmarks reset -- some more than once. Four of those records have featured competitors from the league's men's ranks.

University of Lynchburg athletes own two of those marks. Mid-distance runner Tor Hotung-Davidsen has twice reset the ODAC 800-meter record with his latest time of 1:49.17 marking the new target. Hotung-Davidsen and teammates Chasen Hunt, Marko Kovacevic, and Sam Llaneza reset the distance medley relay record they snapped last year. Their ODAC-best time of 9:53.93 will be a tough effort to topple.

Shenandoah University stars account for the remaining three records busted in 2022-23, including the lone women's mark bolded and italicized on the ODAC charts. Kiara Felston is responsible for that record as her toss of 17.09 meters (56-1.00) is the best weight throw performance in ODAC history. Tucker Kindig reset the men's record in the same event. His mark of 19.27 meters (63-2.75) is fourth in Division III this year. Sprinter Miles Moore owns the remaining new standard. He posted a time of 21.79 seconds in the 200-meter dash at the Winter Classic to take over top billing.
