Junior All-American Christiaan Williams (Sidney/Anna) had a record-setting afternoon, but Ohio Northern fell 44-10 at No. 13-ranked John Carroll on Saturday afternoon at Don Shula Stadium.
Williams ran 25 times for 127 yards for the Polar Bears (3-3 overall, 3-2 Ohio Athletic Conference).
Williams' 127-yard effort breaks the school record for 100-yard rushing games, giving Williams his 21st such game in just his 25th career contest. He breaks the previous record of 20, set by All-American and NFL standout Jamal Robertson from 1997-2000.
The ONU Healthwise Mobile Clinic will be at the Ada Public Library from 1 to 3 p.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Services are offered at no cost to the patient and include immunizations, tobacco cessation, medication reconciliation, health education, and a variety of health screenings.
The ONU College of Pharmacy operates the clinic. Members of the organization visit Ada and most other communities in Hardin County several times a year, thanks to its partners, CVS and Mercy Health.
An ONU student does some class preparation in the new engineering building on campus, which opened this fall. This second floor location provides an interesting view of campus.

A quest to set a world record is on Ada's Friday calendar.
The quest is for the number of individuals tossing footballs at the same time. It will be pursued at 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25, at Ada War Memorial Stadium.
The goal is for 1,000 pairs of individuals (2,000 people total) to toss and catch footballs at the same time.
The participants will line up along each five-yard line.
Ada High School Principal Dan Lee is spearheading the effort and is working with Guinness Book of World Record officials to certify the endeavor as a new event under the “mass participation” category.
