FOREST, Va. --- The Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) is pleased to announce the 2012 ODAC/StellarOne Sportsmanship Teams in each of 10 spring sports sponsored by the conference. This marks the third year the league has recognized these fine student-athletes for their excellence in sportsmanship.
Ten Hornets were honored on the team: Dan Savage (baseball), Sarah Smith (softball), Dusty Scott (golf), Jordan Rooney (equestrian), Ryan Fisher (men's lacrosse), Hailey Bossert (women's lacrosse), Cody Crampton (men's tennis), Kelsey Bergen (women's tennis), Tyler Richardson (men's outdoor track and field), Kelsey Hughes (women's outdoor track and field).
"I am pleased that the conference recognizes student-athletes for their focus on fair play and sportsmanship," explained ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston. "The conference prides itself on positive sportsmanship and encouraging student-athletes to lead by example. Each one of the honorees has been selected by the coaches in recognition of their conduct in the arena. My hat is off to these student-athletes - thanking them for the example they set for all of us."
The ODAC has a rich tradition in promoting fair play and good sportsmanship in each sport across the league. The character of the conference's student-athletes on and off the field is a representation of not only the individuals and teams, but also the institutions they play for.
