University of Lynchburg

Director of Track & Field Mario Wilson and the Hornets are grateful for your support of the team!

The Hornets concluded the Jim Sprecher era by winning the Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field Triple Crown over the 2024-25 season. Coach Sprecher leaves an incredible legacy defined by dominating the ODAC and serving notice to the rest of Division III at multiple NCAA Championships. Coach Sprecher has coached more than 25 All-Americans and seen over 30 event records fall across cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field during his time at the helm along with many more all-state and all-region accolades.

2025 was an outstanding season for the indoor and outdoor track and field teams. At the NCAA Indoors in 2025 the Men attained team trophy status for the first time by placing 4th overall! The points came across multiple event areas including the 60m dash, 800m, 3000m, High Jump and Distance Medley Relay.
