From the Radford Press Release: "Pound is coming off the heels of an impressive five-year run at St. Johns River State College where he took a program that previously had just one winning season to achieving a national championship and three College World Series appearances. It took just three seasons for Pound to rebuild the program, winning the NJCAA Division II Softball National Championship in 2024 where the team finished with a 55-15 record and saw four players named All-Americans." Interestingly, he resigned from St. Johns River State at the end of May. At that time, St. John's Athletic Director commented that Pound "built the program from the ground up," and went on to say that “Joe Pound elevated the program’s status on and off the field. He brought home the first national championship in college history. That will never be forgotten.” D1 Softball noted that "In his five-year tenure at the helm of the Vikings’ program, Pound recorded a 196-125 overall record with a 93-31 conference showing. He led the program to three consecutive NJCAA D2 World Series appearances, including the national title in 2024." Good luck to him at Radford (except when they play the Hokies). ** Edited by VTChip at 7/24/2026, 3:15:14 PM
