Hannah Chappell-Dick, Bluffton, is building an impressive campaign in her final cross country season, earning her third Old Dominion Athletic Conference Runner of the Week award today. With three full-fledged races under her belt on the season, Chappell-Dick has now been named the ODAC Runner of the Week after each of them.
The outcome of the Homecoming Football game matched the setting: cold, windy and miserable. Delphos Jefferson made quick work of the Bluffton squad in a 50-7 dispatch to put a damper on the parade and attendant and escort festivities. Jefferson improved to 5-1 with the win while Bluffton dropped its second straight contest and sits at 4-2.
