AS PART OF this year’s 100th Season Anniversary of Longwood Athletics, Longwood will host a pair of on-campus celebrations recognizing the historical achievements of Lancers past.

For more than a decade, Michelle Meadows had been a behind-the-scenes driver of the growth and development of Longwood athletics.

A Big South championship in softball; top-three conference finishes in field hockey, women’s lacrosse and women’s soccer; and the first Division I postseason appearance and postseason victory for men’s basketball.
