Hall of Famers Five outstanding athletes were inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame this spring. Attending the ceremony were George Green '65, Robin Smith '93 and Neil Paynter '91. Green established school records in the mile and half-mile and was a five-time cross country conference champion. He owns Green Things, develops Web sites and coaches high school track and field in Coronado, Calif. Smith helped lead Old Dominion to three straight national titles in field hockey and was a three-time NCAA All-Tournament selection. She served as an assistant coach last season for the Lady Monarchs. Paynter, one of the best defensive soccer players in school history, helped lead Old Dominion to an 18-2 record and a top-10 ranking. He was the CAA Tournament MVP in 1991. Paynter teaches elementary health and physical education in his native Bermuda. Also inducted, but unable to attend, were Wayne Gomes '94, now in his fourth season as a relief pitcher with the Philadelphia Phillies, and former All-American wrestler Peter Horst '93, who teaches art and coaches wrestling in Hillington, Pa. Tim Russert, Washington bureau chief for NBC News and host of "Meet the Press," was the latest in a lineup of high-profile speakers for spring commencement.  It's Been a Great Run  Fond memories of favorite professors and the Norfolk Division  Another "Favorite Professor" remembrance  In honor of Dr. Brenner  Thanks, Old Dominion  An informative publication  Old Dominion facing "tight" fiscal year in 2001-02  Dwight Allen and Sushil Chaturvedi win SCHEV Awards  Provost Gora accepts chancellorship at UMass-Boston  Natural Beauty  Alumni volunteers answer the call to serve  Katie Van Buren '82  Alumni host receptions for admitted students  Stanford assistant selected to succeed Capel  CAA adds four schools from America East  Top 10 highlights from Old Dominion's first 25 years in Division I  Former Lady Monarchs coaching, playing in WNBA  Marina DiGiacomo wins Honda Award  Freshman tennis star ranked fifth in nation  Recent Books by Alumni and Faculty  Dominion Colleagues Program Launched  New tennis scholarship honors Sugie Jarrett  Looking Back  Class News Alumni Profiles  Father Jay Wagner - Autograph Hound  Andy Alvarez - Consumer Advocate  Tonya Miller - Ebony Impact
