By Marissa Myers

ADA — Ohio Northern sophomore Claire Schweller (Paulding) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week for the week of Mar. 25-31.

The recognition comes after she placed second in the pole vault by clearing 3.80 meters (12.47 feet) at the Tiffelberg Open on Saturday.

That mark beats her previous best of 3.65 meters and moves her up to fourth all-time at ONU.

This is Schweller's second time receiving the honor.

The Polar Bears return to action on Saturday at the Manchester (Ind.) Invitational.
