🕷️ ONE BIG THING

Remembering Bill. We’re heartbroken to announce the passing of Richmond Athletics Hall-of-Famer Bill Jordan. As a student-athlete, coach, and administrator, Jordan served the XC/TF programs for over 40 years, launching the women’s team in ‘76 and building the men’s team. May he rest in peace. Family and friends are invited to celebrate his life at a graveside service to be held at the Robinson River Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Brightwood, VA on Saturday, July 13, 2024, 11:00 AM.
