The Ohio Northern women's indoor track and field program has been projected to finish fourth in the Ohio Athletic Conference during the 2019 campaign under 10th-year head coach Jason Maus, the league office announced Wednesday morning with the release of the annual OAC Coaches Preseason Poll.
The Polar Bears received 57 points from the conference's ten head coaches in the poll, just 10 points removed from a top-three selection.

This is Ada Main Street, right in the heart of the business district. Notice the large seams on State Route 235 for for vehicles to straddle as motorists head north and south through town.
Good news: This spring ODOT plans to repave Main Street from the north city limits to the south limits. The work will likely be done in early spring, rather than late spring...and none too soon. Last winter, the seam cane apart in many places, making north-south travel difficult. It was repaired, but winter repairs don’t last long. Hopefully, last year’s patch will hold through this winter.
At 9:57 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 19, the village of Ada lifted the boil water advisory that affected several sections of the village.
