In 11 years as the head coach of the Roanoke College cross country program, Richard Browder built the Maroons into not only an ODAC power, but also a South Region power.
Roanoke joined the ODAC for cross country competition in 1977, and over the next 11 years, Browder would be named ODAC men’s Coach of the Year six times, each of those years leading the team to the conference championship.
During Browder’s tenure, the Maroons advanced to the Division III national meet five times (1980, ’81, ’83, ’85, ’86) and three athletes won the individual conference championship.
Browder, who earned a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, is currently teaching at Salem High School.
