When most Polar Bears move to campus on Aug. 16, and as Welcome Weekend commences to help students ease into the fall ’23 semester, Ohio Northern University’s decade-long Orientation Leader (OL) tradition will again be evident. Becoming a college student or transferring to a new campus can be daunting. OLs make this important rite of passage much less so by providing guidance, answering questions, and much more. In the process, they learn a lot about themselves, too.

Bulldog boys golf building momentum

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada High School boys golf program features a young five-player roster in 2023. Yet second-year head coach Kurt Klingler has a more experienced team than the one he inherited last season.

Klingler welcomes back two lettermen and three newcomers to the Bulldog squad. "We are taking baby steps," said Klingler. "Our newcomers do have some golf experience. We are a little more experienced this year.

“We are working on refining strokes,” he continued. “So we are a few steps ahead of last year at this time.” 

Three-time letterman senior Jack Baumgartner is the top returnee and is the team’s undisputed number one player. “Jack has put in some good work,” said the coach. “His all-around game is good. He is patient and composed, stays calm. He does not let one mistake snowball into other errors.”

Freshman Brody Rister is expected to fill the number two role. The Allen East transfer is a southpaw. “Brody has played the game his whole life; he has a good short game behind his putting and chipping,” said Klingler.
