"Coach Zody was a disciplinarian, but he had great love for his athletes. To run for him was to work hard, but his program set up his athletes for success in life in ways that had nothing to do with track and field. Fran and I send our condolences to his wife, Pauline, and his family and many friends."
Rick Owens, formerly of Pine Bluff and a former sports reporter for The Pine Bluff Commercial, will be one of five honorees to be inducted into the University of Arkansas at Monticello Sports Hall of Fame today.
