FOREST, Va. — For the second time in as many years, the ODAC and its member schools kick off a new academic year with the announcement of the 2026 class of the ODAC Hall of Fame. Representing Randolph in the second class are Coach Jo Todd, (Women's Basketball, Women's Soccer) and Lindsay Cross '10 (Women's Basketball, Softball).

This year's second-ever class of conference stars features 36 of the best student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and contributors towards the league's rich history of excellence. 

"The announcement of our second Hall of Fame class is another chance to celebrate the people who have helped make the ODAC what it is today," explained ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston. "Each honoree has their own story, but they all made a lasting impact on our conference and helped set the standard for those who came after them. We're proud to recognize what they accomplished and excited to celebrate the lasting mark they've made on the ODAC."

Todd coached the Randolph women's basketball program for 31 years, compiling a career record of 180-304. She was named ODAC Coach of the Year in her final season, 1997-98, after leading the WildCats to a 10-15 overall record and an 8-12 mark in ODAC play, which was the most conference wins in program history at the time. Todd coached eight All-ODAC players, including Tara Carleton, who was named ODAC Rookie of the Year in 1996-97 and an All-American in 1997-98. 

Todd also coached Randolph women's soccer for five seasons from 1983-87. She was named the 1984 ODAC Coach of the Year and coached 10 All-Conference players during her tenure.

Cross starred for both the Randolph women's basketball and softball programs, establishing herself as one of the most accomplished two-sport athletes in WildCat history. On the softball diamond, she was a three-time All-ODAC selection, earning First Team honors in 2009 and 2010, and was the 2009 ODAC Player of the Year. She was also named a 2009 NFCA Third Team All-American. Cross left her mark in the history books, finishing her career as Randolph's career leader in batting average at .426. She ranked among the program's top six in several other categories, including second in slugging percentage (.650) and third in on-base percentage (.470), doubles (35), home runs (10), putouts (471), and double plays turned (18). 

On the basketball court, Cross wrapped her career as Randolph's all-time leader in three-point field goal percentage (.367) and pulled down 607 career rebounds.

With the addition of Todd and Cross, the number of WildCats honored in the ODAC Hall of Fame now stands at five.
