Four Cavaliers picked in MLB draft

Andrew Dobies

A year after no Virginia baseball players were picked in the major league draft, four Cavaliers were selected by pro clubs Monday and Tuesday.

Andrew Dobies, who went 6-2 with a 3.41 ERA, was taken in the third round by the Boston Red Sox, the earliest a UVa player has been picked in seven years. The Colorado Rockies took Joe Koshansky, the ACC player of the year, in the sixth round. Koshansky hit 16 home runs, half of Virginia's total, and went 8-3 with a 2.98 ERA.

Also selected were shortstop Mark Reynolds (16th round, Diamondbacks) and pitcher Jeff Kamrath (36th round, Indians). Kamrath redshirted last season with an elbow injury.

Dobies, Reynolds and Kamrath all have one season of eligibility remaining. Dobies says he plans to sign with the Red Sox, but Reynolds and Kamrath are expected to stick around and play for the Cavaliers next season.

Jorgensen going for NCAA javelin championship

In 2001, Inge Jorgensen finished fourth in the javelin at the NCAA track and field championships. After that, she missed two years with a torn quadriceps tendon and a torn elbow ligament. But now she's back where she was three years ago.

A fifth-year student, Jorgensen is one of two Cavaliers competing in the NCAA meet this week in Austin, Texas. The other is Kellen Blassingame in the men's 400-meter dash.

Six Cavs to compete in Chitengwa Championship

Play begins today in the third annual Lewis Chitengwa Memorial Championship, the Canadian Tour event created in honor of the UVa golfer who died of meningoccocous poisoning in 2001.

The tournament, held at Stoney Creek Course at Wintergreen, will include six current or former Cavaliers: Fred Widicus (1988-91), Jimmy Flippen (1992-95), Steve Marino (1999-02), Justin Goodhue (2000-03), Jeremy Luce (2001-04), and rising senior Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell earned one of four available spots by firing a 1-over 73 at Birdwood Golf Course last Monday.

"All in all, it's great to have our guys here for a tournament that honors one of our greatest ever," said UVa coach Mike Moraghan, also the tournament director.

Chitengwa was a two-time All-American at UVa. His 17-year-old brother, Farai, will compete in the tournament and 14 UVa student-athletes will serve as caddies, including Wali Lundy and J.R. Reynolds.

Dick Mountjoy, who has hosted WINA's morning radio show for the past 10 years, will be the "Voice of the Cavalier Marching Band."

Mountjoy will be the band's halftime stadium announcer. He has been a popular radio figure in the Charlottesville area for nearly 40 years.

Herenda won't join Gillen's staff

East Carolina assistant Greg Herenda interviewed with UVa men's basketball coach Pete Gillen a few weeks ago, but his current school ended up giving him an offer he couldn't refuse.

ECU promoted Herenda to associate head coach, so he withdrew his name from consideration for the Virginia position. The Cavaliers still have two vacancies to fill on Gillen's staff with the departures of Rod Jensen and Scott Shepherd. Shepherd was hired as Ferrum's head coach on Wednesday.
