Interview with Roanoke's Finn Pincus

It's tournament time in the ODAC! Brad and J.J. run-through each of the postseason tournament draws in this edition of the ODAC Podcast. Virginia Wesleyan enters as the top seed in both men's and women's soccer. Lynchburg tops the entrants in field hockey, and Randolph-Macon heads the field that will compete at Hollins for the volleyball crown.

The championship season kicks off this weekend with the first titles awarded in cross country. In what has become an annual discussion, J.J. had the chance to sit down with Roanoke mentor, Finn Pincus, about the upcoming cross country event. Roanoke hosts this year's championship meet in Salem at Mowles Spring Park. With that in mind, Pincus provided insight into the planning and preparation for the 2009 championship meet, as well as benchmarking what is sure to be a deep and competitive field for this weekend's races. The women's 6K run is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. with the men's 8K affair following at 12:00 p.m.

Pincus is in his 19th season guiding the Roanoke cross country and track & field programs. He has won numerous coaching awards, including most recently being named the NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year for indoor track.
