The Old Dominion Athletic Conference has announced its award recipients for the 2025 outdoor track & field season, and Roanoke junior Ophelia Ladner was selected as the winner of the ODAC/Virginia Farm Bureau Scholar-Athlete award for women's track & field.
 
Additionally, the Maroons earned All-ODAC honors in nine events on the men's side and nine more in the women's competition, based on their performances at the conference outdoor championships in Harrisonburg, Va., on April 25-26.
 
Ladner maintains a 3.913 grade point average as a sociology major with a minor in literary studies and a concentration in publishing and editing. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Delta, Alpha Lambda Delta and the Public Affairs Society. She has earned President's List, Dean's List and Athletic Honor Roll accolades over her three years. Ladner has also received the Max Weber Paper Award, the Giordano Family Scholarship and the Bergeson Memorial Scholarship, and she was a 2023-24 CSC Academic All-District honoree.
 
On the track, Ladner set both Roanoke and ODAC championship meet records with a victorious time of 1:01.93 in the 400m hurdles in Harrisonburg, and she joined teammates Mae Kaufman, Maryrose Molina-Shuman and Lindsey Hobin in winning the 4x400 relay.
