The Ohio Northern men's track and field program has established itself as one of the premier programs in the conference and perhaps the  region.

In 2012, the team earned its fifth straight OAC indoor championship and finished third at the outdoor conference meet, which was its eighth consecutive top three finish at the outdoor championship.

"We had an unbelievable performance at the indoor meet, and carried some of that momentum into the outdoor season," said head coach Jason Maus. "We are looking to have the same success this season that we have had in the past seasons."

The 2012 track & field seasons were a little frustrating for the Ohio Northern women's track & field teams, but improvement was shown.

Unlike recent OAC finishes, Northern finished fifth at the indoor conference meet and seventh at the outdoor OAC championships.

"We had some struggles last season. But we return a lot of great runners this season and will be improved."

The Polar Bears break down like this for the 2013 campaign.

The Mu Delta chapter of Beta Alpha Psi at Ohio Northern University’s James F. Dicke College of Business Administration has been named a semifinalist for the Beta Alpha Psi Ethics Award sponsored by Grant Thornton LLC.

The 2012-13 award is made up of two parts: an abstract of a planned ethics project and a final submission of the results.

ONU’s abstract outlined a plan to conduct an Ethics Day on campus to provide an avenue for high school students to think about ethical issues.

During the event, Beta Alpha Psi will pose an ethical dilemma to high school students with an emphasis on the importance of ethical behavior and how an ethical decision can be made.
