EMORY, Va. - The Emory & Henry College Men's & Women's Track & Field Teams will conclude the 2018-19 indoor season on Sunday when they compete in the 2019 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championships. It will be the first-ever postseason appearance for the E&H women, while the men will see their first ODAC action since 1994.

Roanoke College's Cregger Center will serve as the meet host for the third year in a row. The Wasps are no stranger to the three-year old facility, as they competed in both the Bast-Cregger Invitational (Nov. 30-Dec. 1) and the Finn Pincus Invitational (Jan. 26) earlier in the year.
