Old Dominion Athletic Conference is a lacrosse, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball, golf, soccer, field hockey, and football league in Forest, VA
The ODAC cross country season kicks off on Friday, so it was natural that we talked to a few of the league's head coaches entering the 2023 campaign. J.J Nekoloff is joined by ODAC cross country coaches chair and Washington and Lee men's coach Brandon Spalding, University of Lynchburg mentor Jake Reed, and new Roanoke College head coach Derek Workman as they touch on last year's banner season and what to expect this year on several avenues including returning athletes, team strength within the region, and champion venue breakdowns for the ODAC meet in Salem, the regionals in Georgia, and the national championships in Pennsylvania.
In our eighth feature of ODAC "Title IX Talk," we turn our focus to the officiating side of sports and talk about Title IX and its impacts on the referees, umpires, and judges that enforce the rules of our sports. Former Hollins University and Emory & Henry College director of athletics Myra Sims returns to lead a discussion with two of the ODAC's most experienced individuals in the officiating realm -- Vickie Van Kleeck and Melissa Wiggins.
