ADA — Ohio Northern junior Mara Brown (Fremont/Ross) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Women's Swimmer of the Week for the week of Nov. 13-19.

This marks the third such accolade for Brown in her career, as she earned the honor twice as a freshman.

The latest recognition comes after she posted four top-10 finishes at the Wabash (Ind.) Invitational this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Individually, she placed ninth in the 200 fly, 10th in the 100 fly and 100 breast and 14th in the 200 IM. She was also part of the eighth-place 400 medley relay team and the 16th-place 200 free relay team.

Overall, ONU scored 234 points and placed ninth of 10 teams at the event.

The Polar Bears return to action on Jan. 12 when they host a tri-meet against Wooster and Bluffton.
