The Bluffton Sardines summer swim team handily swept visiting teams Westside and Ada in a Western Ohio Aquatic League makeup tri-meet Tuesday evening, June 20.
Ada at Bluffton was postponed twice last week due to unseasonably cool and rainy conditions, and thus the meet was combined into a three-team competition.
Bluffton won the combined team event convincingly, sweeping the boys and girls dual meets. Westside finished second, and Ada came in third.
Jeff Gundy, emeritus professor of English at Bluffton University, has held many roles during his writing career: published author, professor, Ohio Poet of the Year and distinguished poet in residence, to name a few. Now, thanks to a grant from an anonymous donor awarded through the Seattle Foundation, Gundy is adding the title “writer in (non) residence” to his vita.
The $93,500 grant funds the position as well as administrative costs for two years. Since the title specifically states (non) residence, research and creative work will also include exploration off campus.
