New conditioning program provides boost

By Clayton O'Toole | October 26, 2006

Part three of this five-part series leading up to Virginia's first game Nov. 12 will offer a look at how a new addition to the strength and conditioning staff has impacted Virginia's entire offseason program. Strength and conditioning coach Shaun Brown was one of head coach Dave Leitao's less-publicized hires since arriving in Charlottesville in 2005 -- less publicized, but certainly not less qualified. Brown came to Charlottesville following eight years as a head strength coach in the NBA, six years with the Boston Celtics and two years with the Toronto Raptors.

Libero position has provided stability

By Aaron Perryman | October 26, 2006

After two big wins over the weekend against Georgia Tech and Clemson, the Cavalier volleyball team finds itself sitting in fourth place in the ACC at 8-4 in the conference and 15-6 overall. Virginia coach Melissa Shelton has attributed some of their success this year to the skilled playing at the libero position, shared this year by junior Melissa Caldwell and sophomore Beth Shelton. According to Melissa Shelton, the two have shared the position this season mainly because of injuries suffered by Caldwell. Caldwell "sprained her ankle before the Virginia Tech game, and she was sick at the Michigan tournament," Shelton said. Shelton stated that whoever has the better week of practice will play in the games.

By Ernie Washington | October 24, 2006

When Emily Harrison first came to Virginia, she did not realize how successful she would be here. However, in her third year, Emily Harrison has proven that she could potentially be one of the best cross country runners in the history of the school. "She is one of the most rock-solid athletes I have ever worked with in terms of her approach and how consistent she is on a daily basis in terms of taking care of herself, putting in a lot of hard work and expecting a lot out of herself," coach Jason Dunn said.
