Ada sophomore Jillian Hazelton competed at the Van Wert County Health Cross Country Invitational meet Saturday, September 25.

Due to team illnesses, she was the lone Bulldog able to participate.

Hazelton finished 99th out of 112 runners in the girls race. She covered the 3.1-mile course in 28:41.7.

"Despite not being her best time of the season, I'm so glad to see Jilli consistently well under the 30-minute mark this year because last year our goal was always trying to break 30," said Ada head coach Josh Klein.

Card-carrying library patron

By Paula Scott, Ada Icon
Posted by Paula Scott on Monday, September 27, 2021

My library card is a tiny sliver on my keychain. It’s a key to lots of free stuff:

  • Print books
  • Audio books and Playaways
  • E-books
  • Magazines
  • DVDs
  • Music CDs
  • Video games
  • Interlibrary loans
  • Research databases
  • Public computers and high speed internet access

I am a big library fan. I have a vivid memory of being told (at perhaps age five) that I could check out as many books as I wanted to, or at least as many as I could carry. Eureka!
