FOREST, Va.- The Old Dominion Athletic Conference on Friday announced its inductees for its inaugural Hall of Fame class in celebration of the conference's 50th anniversary. Among the first class, Randolph is represented by Tara Weaver (Carleton) '00 (Women's Basketball), Amy Heidler (Winder) '87 (Women's Swimming), and Reynolds Martin '15 (Equestrian).
The three WildCats are a part of the 50-member class this year to commemorate the 50th year of ODAC competition beginning with the 1976-77 academic year. The first two classes of honorees, 2025 and 2026, will feature inductees directly selected by ODAC member schools.
"This inaugural Hall of Fame class embodies the heart and soul of the ODAC," explained ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston. "They are champions, leaders, and trailblazers whose influence reaches far beyond wins and championships. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we are proud to honor individuals whose dedication and spirit have left an indelible mark on the conference and inspired all who have been part of our story."
Weaver is the most decorated player in the history of the Randolph women's basketball program. Competing as Randolph-Macon Women's College, Weaver is the program's all-time leading scorer with 2,167 points averaging 22.3 points per contest. She is one of two in WildCat history with over 1,000 rebounds. She made 551 free throws, came away 253 steals, and blocked 83 shots.
Weaver made ODAC All-Conference teams four times. She was the 1997 ODAC Rookie of the Year and the 1999 ODAC Player of the Year. She was a three-time Honorable Mention All-American and once a First Team All-American. Weaver was also Virginia SID All-State in 1997-98 and twice named Virginia SID All-State Player of the Year twice. In addition, she earned the 2000 Marjorie Berkley Award by the ODAC.
Winder was the school's first All-American in any sport and first National Champion. She was the 1984 NCAA National Champion in the 200 butterfly and an All-American in the 100 butterfly, finishing seventh. Winder was a two-time all-ODAC selection and the 1984 ODAC Swimmer of the Year. She still holds Randolph school records in the 100 fly, 200 fly, and the 200 free.
