Adam Otstot '04 finishes 10th at Ironman Chattanooga

Congratulations to Adam Otstot on his 10th place finish at Ironman Chattanooga over the weekend! His continued success in triathlon and Ironman competitions is even more impressive given that he's now a father to a young daughter, and was recently named Coordinator for Health and Physical Education for James City County Public Schools. Keep up the great work, Adam!

UVA Invite Pics and Results

Thanks to Tim O'Dowd for his usual slew of pics.  Here are the men and here are the women.   For those who grew up in the digital age, Randy Hawthorne used to print out copies of his pictures and tape them up in the locker room for us to take home - one per customer - all of which I still have!

Without their #1, the women still finished second to UVA which is ranked #10 in the NCAA.  The men's team was eighth overall.

Dr. Frank Brown '64 Honored by Peninsula Sports Club

On June 16, 2014, former captain of the 1963 William and Mary cross-country team, Dr. Frank Brown, was awarded The Sports Person Emeritus Award by The Peninsula Sports Club at The 65th Annual Headliner's Night held at The Marriott Hotel and Conference Center located at The City Center in Newport News, Virginia. That team won The Va. State Intercollegiate Championship, The Mt. St. Mary's Invitationl Meet, The Va. State A.A.U. Championship, plus The 1963 Southern Conference Meet, and was the first cross-country team in William and Mary history to advance to The N.C.A.A.'s, held at Michigan State. This was sadly just after the Friday on November 22nd when President Kennedy had been assasinated. The team was admiringly coached by senior classmate, Jim Holdren, as head coach, Harry Groves, had taken a leave-of-absence on an A.A.U. Track and Field tour to Iran that fall. What a miraculous season it was for all involved. That team consisted of coach Holdren, Brown, Tom Ryan, Bob Lawson, Jimmy Johnson, and John Randolph. They could only afford to take five team members to nationals at that time due to a distinct lack of money.
