ADA - After missing last season due to the coronavirus pandemic, experienced local tennis coach and player Dexter Woods takes over the Ada boys tennis program this spring with some returning and new talent on the 2021 roster.
The sixth season of Bulldog varsity spring tennis hopes to continue the success of the program-record 14-win season of 2019. Last spring's campaign promised to be a successful one before being washed out.
"We've got a mix of youth and experience, but most of the players are inexperienced," said Woods.
Senior Stella DeWitt (Weston/ Cardinal Stritch) and junior Kayla Silva (Westerville/ South) were named All-Great Lakes Region in Women's Indoor Track & Field for 2021 by the USTFCCCA.
To earn All-Region honors, an athlete must be one of the top-5 individuals in their respective region on the final TFRRS Descending Order List. In addition, each member of a region's top-3 relay team was also selected for distinction.
Silva was named All-Region in both the 60 and 200-meter dash events after earning All-Ohio Athletic Conference honors in each.
She is the school record holder in the 60 and is now a two-time All-Region honoree in the event.

FROM ONU PHARMACY FACEBOOK - Austin Hilverding, a 2018 ONU pharmacy graduate, was recently selected as an expert panelist for a statewide COVID-19 Population Needs Assessment.
The assesment was conducted by The Ohio State University College of Public Health.
During his undergrad years at ONU, Hilverding was coordinator of Ada Friends, a mentoring program involving ONU students.
The needs assessment evaluated barriers that specific vulnerable communities face while preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The assessment included six populations identified as at-risk for disproportionate burdens of disease and death during the COVID-19 pandemic.
