Sophomore Calob Cope (Fort Wayne, Ind./Homestead) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week for the week of Feb. 15-21.
Cope won three distance races in meets at Mount Union and John Carroll this weekend.
On Friday, he won the 500 free in 4:57.51 and was second in the 400 I.M. in 4:20.69 at Mount Union.
Cope swept the 1650 free (17:04.26) and the 500 free (4:57.32) at John Carroll on Saturday.
The Polar Bears will wrap up their abbreviated 2021 season March 25-27 with the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.
This spring's Conservation Tillage and Technology Conference traditionally held on the Ohio Northern University campus is virtual this year.
Four days of topic related programming will be provided March 9-12, (Tuesday-Friday). There is still time to register. Each day will start at 8 a.m. and will have five hours of programming, ending about 2 p.m.
That adds up to 20 hours of presentations on current topics important for farmers, crop consultants and educators.
Because the program is virtual and therefore travel is not an issue, the planning committee has put together a list of national experts from universities, agencies, industry professionals and others.
