Belonging is a crucial part of any sports team. In college sports, athletes come from hundreds of different high schools across the state, country, and world, bringing their different experiences with them. They join a new community with new opportunities to fill roles that may be different from those they have filled in the past. Belonging is achieved when everyone feels valuable in the way they contribute—whether it’s on the track, the field, in the locker room, or both—they feel as though they have found a place where they fit.
Junior Sel Adehe, a sprinter/hurdler and Exercise Physiology major from Grove City, OH shares his thoughts about what belonging on the ONU Track & Field team looks and feels like to him, and how being a part of the team is like being a part of a family. Give it a watch!

Listen to a workout recap from Junior Brooks Blakeley
If you’ve ever been to Ada, you know it’s lots of flat, country roads & grass loops. We mixed things up a bit today by taking a trip out to the Ferguson Reservoir in Lima for some hill repeats. (Alums of the program may remember this loop from a few years back!) Despite some wind and rain, both teams battled really well in a new environment. Listen as your women’s squad of Olesya Mertz, Lizzy Dingman, Sophia Thompson, and Rue Whitmore provide some feedback on today’s workout. Go bears!

With no races on the cross country schedule this season, the bears are still putting their fitness to the test on campus. Every year, ONU XC kicks off the season with a 2 mile time trial to precede the season. This year, the time trial will be the start of our inner-squad Grand Prix time trial series.
On Friday, several bears made time trial history, clocking some of the fastest times to ever be run on ONU soil. @taylor_ellerbrock led three women under 12 minutes and eight women into the top 20 list with a blazing fast time of 11:46, second only to ONU XC National Runner-up Alison Steinbrenner.
On the men’s side, @billy.driemeyer led the way to a top-4 time of 9:52, with only All-Americans Ian McVey and Matt Molinaro ahead of him on the top-20 list. Three men made it onto the top 20 list and many more hit personal bests.
The fall may be different this year, but these p-bears are still working! Check out these post-race interviews with the winners 🏆
