LIMA - The Ada girls and boys swim teams compiled a combined 7-3 record at the six-team Lima Senior swim meet duals Wednesday night at the Lima YMCA.
"The girls swam very well," said Ada head coach Tanner Holke. "Almost every swimmer had at least one personal-best time, and form improvements were noticeable."
The Bulldog girls picked up four wins under the multiple dual meet format, losing only to Minster in head-to-head scoring. The Ada boys posted a solid 3-2 dual meet record.
Ada sophomore Klava Katayama won both the 200 individual medley and 500 freestyle races to pace the Lady Bulldogs.

There are several escape rooms in the bigger cities in Ohio and one in Findlay. Soon, there will be one nearby. In order to keep Ada Icon readers in the know on the latest trends, we did some digging to find out what an escape room is all about.
Ray Hadley, who is pastoring a church called Ada Family Center, explained that escape rooms are a live adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles using clues, hints, and strategy to solve the mystery of each room.
On Tuesday, there were 24 students out in the Ada elementary and 18 in the high school.

Don’t let the flu get you, and, if you are sick, stay home and get well. That’s the message Marlene Vermillion posted on Facebook earlier this week. She is the Ada school nurse.
Ada has 880 students enrolled. On Tuesday, there were 24 students out in the elementary and 18 in the high school. During the worst of the flu season last year, there were as many as 80 students absent on any given day in the high school alone.
But to prevent Ada numbers from increasing, read this note from the nurse:
