2nd annual Run for the Roses Charity Event

Sunday, May 2nd, we participated in the 2nd Annual Run for the Roses 5k run/walk held on the campus of Ohio Northern. This event is hosted by the ONU Athletic training staff and athletic training students in honor of two special ONU people who have battled Cystic Fibrosis.

Thankfully, the weather held out but the infamous Ada wind was in full swing. Here's the group before the big run on the green monster.

All smiles after when it's over!

As along as this event goes on at ONU, women's basketball will always be involved. This event is a great way to give back to the campus community and for such a great cause. My goal is when our athletes leave here, they continue to get involved in races for charity. When they see the big picture, they start to recognize that it truly is a blessing to be able to run/walk when so many persons don't have that opportunity.... It helps gain perspective about what we take for granted sometimes and that we can all do more to help those around us.

Great job ladies...Coach Terrell
