The Ohio Northern women's cross country team looks to build off last season's fourth-place effort at the Ohio Athletic Conference Championships during the 2018 campaign under 10th-year head coach Jason Maus.
In 2017, the Polar Bears compiled an impressive 94-37 overall record, which included team titles at the Bluffton 5k and the Tiffelberg Invitational, and posted an upper division finish at the OAC Championships for the 16th consecutive season.
This season, Coach Maus and his staff welcome back nine lettermen and 13 student/athletes overall.

The Polar Bears were 7-3 overall and finished second in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 6-3 record under 15th-year head coach Dean Paul in 2017.
Paul and his staff welcome back 14 starters and 38 lettermen from last year's squad that posted its 21st upper division finish in the Ohio Athletic Conference in the past 22 seasons.
The Ohio Northern men's cross country program seeks to continue its recent string of success at the conference and national levels in 2018 under 10th-year head coach Jason Maus.

The Ada Icon and sister website, Bluffton Icon, this week introduce new logos to viewers. The logos unveiling is today.
The redesign project started in May and included several versions and fine-tuning.
"We wanted a uniquely Ada and Bluffton look and feel to our logos," said Fred Steiner of the Icon. "Changing logos isn't something you do overnight. It takes planning, studying other logos and a desire to make viewers feel at home on our websites. We think these new logos achieve that hometown feel."
