ODAC Indoor T&F Championship at Liberty Highlights Busy Weekend for LC athletics
LYNCHBURG, VA - This weekend is scheduled to feature six Hornet athletic teams in action in Lynchburg over the three days.
The 2009 Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Championship Meet is slated for Friday at Liberty University's Tolsma Track Center. The 23rd-ranked Hornet men will look to hold off a challenge from Bridgewater College and capture their 12th-straight conference title. LC received five of the six first place votes in the ODAC pre-season poll, but the Eagles nabbed the other vote. BC also won the 2008 Outdoor conference title, edging Lynchburg by 32 points. The Hornet women were picked to place third this indoor season, one spot ahead of their fourth-place 2008 finish. Roanoke College received all six first-place votes and Washington & Lee University was predicted to finish second.
