Ohio Northern Track and Field

We're just one week away from having our cross-country athletes return to campus and three weeks away from the first meet week of the 2024 season! Make sure you've got these dates marked on your calendar. You won't want to miss any of the action this year!!

Yet another academic honor for the Men's and Women's Track teams this year! Both men and women earned All-Academic team honors for maintaining a GPA above 3.1 through both indoor and outdoor seasons. Additionally, six individuals earned All-Academic honors for their efforts this past year. Great work bears!

Miss our bears 🧡🖤

54 days until our Cross Country season opens back up, can't wait!

This past weekend, the ONU track team welcomed over 50 high school and junior high athletes to our second annual summer Jumps and Throws Camp! Despite record heat, these campers showed up with amazing energy each day and made a massive amount of improvement!!

These camps occur biannually in both December and June. Follow along with our page and onusports.com for updates on upcoming camps!

They say records are meant to be broken...

A few weeks ago, someone commented on a post and said that it seemed like a new school record was being set every week. We decided to do the math.

Throughout the 2024 indoor and outdoor seasons, ONU had 28 new school records set in 15 separate events!! Across 18 weekends this season that averaged out to 1.55 school records a week!!!

During the excitement of the end of the season, we forgot to provide updates for our top 10 all-time outdoor lists. Check back over the next couple of days as 18 bears moved up the all-time lists.

It's was an impressive season for the Polar Bears on the track, on the runway, and in the ring; but it was an even more impressive season in the classroom!!

This past semester, an outstanding 64 athletes were on the Dean's List (above a 3.5 term GPA). 28 of them earned perfect 4.0s! Additionally, 6 athletes will earn USTFCCCA All-Academic honors (above a 3.3 term GPA and in the top 50 in their event for NCAA DIII). All of this while they were in the heart of both indoor and outdoor season!!

It's NATIONALS MEET DAY!!! The Polar Bears step onto the sunny track in Myrtle Beach for day one of the NCAA Championships.

The bears will compete throughout the day and into the evening fighting for spots in the finals and on the podium. Live results in our story.

Congratulations to both Coach Maus and Coach Amidon for being named regional coaches of the year by !!

If the last week has taught us anything, it's that being successful in the OAC is getting tougher and tougher by the year. It takes a team effort all around, and these nine athletes lead the way by bringing home conference titles!

They join an additional 48 athletes who put points on the table for the bears! Be on the lookout for our other podium finishes later this evening.

For the first time in 6 years, the Ohio Northern Women bring home the championships!!

The women won in dominant fashion, scoring 228 team points. Out of 21 events, the Polar Bears scored in 20 events. 7 bears took home event wins over the two day meet.

Let's hear it for our women!
