The past weekend was not like any other pre-championship period with not one but two ODAC men's indoor records featuring new names ahead of this week's ODAC Indoor Track & Field Championships at Roanoke College. Congratulations to Lynchburg's Lamont Victoria on setting a new ODAC high jump record and Washington and Lee's Macky Gartley on tying the ODAC 60-meter hurdles benchmark.

Results Note: the NCAA championships in 2026 will be competed on an oversized/banked track, whereas the ODAC championships will be competed on a flat 200-meter surface. On the ODAC performance lists, any track times registered on flat tracks for events over 60-meters will be recorded natively with no conversion. When ODAC teams compete on a banked or different-size track, those times over 60-meters will be converted to 200-meter flat track standards for ODAC performance chart rankings. On the Division III performance lists, any times competed for events over 60 meters on 200-meter flat surfaces will be converted to oversized/banked standards for national rankings. If events over 60 meters are competed on oversized/banked tracks, the resulting marks will be posted natively for NCAA ranking considerations. For ODAC record consideration, no converted marks will be used. Only the actual marks registered during competition will be used for possible record book entries.

  • SUMMER WALLACE | BRIDGEWATER | JUMPS
    Wallace, a senior from Staunton, Va., competed and starred in a pair of jumping events at the Rockingham Collegiate Classic hosted by Bridgewater at the Rockingham Recreation Center. Wallace won the long jump with a leap of 5.34 meters (17-6.25). That mark is second in the ODAC only to her previous season-best distance of 5.36 meters. Her new jump would slot eighth in the South Region. Wallace also competed in the high jump, placing third overall after clearing 1.52 meters (4-11.75). That is her second-best clearance of the season and would tie her for third on the ODAC performance chart and tie her for 15th in the region.

  • LINDSEY HOBIN | ROANOKE | SPRINTS
    Hobin, a senior from Cranston, R.I., is primed and ready for ODAC Championship competition following a strong showing in a pair of sprints at the Wittenberg Invitational. Hobin strengthened her grip on the top 400-meter dash time in the ODAC by placing third overall and second among Division III competitors with a personal-best time of 0:56.63. That slots second in the South Region and 22nd in the country. Her converted time (for track size and banking) of 0:57.29 tops the league table by 0.10 seconds. Hobin also competed in the 200-meter dash, placing third fourth overall and first among Division III runners at 0:25.34. That is her second-best time of the season in the 200-dash, with her previous-best converted time of 0:25.99 ranking third in the league. Her new mark would slot ninth in the region.

  • LAMONT VICTORIA | LYNCHBURG | JUMPS/SPRINTS
    Victoria, a senior from Richmond, Va., collects his second straight ODAC weekly field athlete award after resetting the conference's high jump record at the Rockingham Collegiate Classic hosted by Bridgewater College at the Rockingham Recreation Center. Victoria cleared 2.15 meters (7-0.50) to win the event and overtake the previous conference benchmark of 2.13 meters set by former Bridgewater standout DaVon Lewis in 1997. Victoria's new standard tops both the ODAC and South Region charts and ranks second in Division III by 0.04 meters.

  • MACKY GARTLEY | WASHINGTON AND LEE | HURDLES
    Gartley, a first-year from Sewickley, Pa., ran three times in two events and tied an ODAC record at the Rockingham Collegiate Classic hosted by Bridgewater College at the Rockingham Recreation Center. Gartley won the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 0:08.09 to tie the ODAC record set by former Virginia Wesleyan star Landry Moffo in 2022. Gartley's new time – which followed his prelims' heat winning 0:08.14 showing – is No. 1 in the ODAC and South Region and is tied for ninth in Division III. Gartley also competed in the 200-meter dash, placing fourth at 0:22.85 to mark a new personal collegiate-best time.
