If you ever head to the weight room at Bluffton University's Sommer Center, there’s a good chance you’ll run by Ollie Moorer either lifting weights, working on cardio or even clearing his mind with yoga.
But don’t be intimidated if you hear him looking and sounding like the character Bane from Batman or Darth Vader, as it’s only his endurance mask.

DELAWARE, Ohio - The All-Ohio Outdoor Track and Field Championship has vexed the Bluffton Beavers for the last 10 years, but not this year. The men’s team, with a squad of only 13 athletes, came to perform and perform they did.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - For the Bluffton University baseball team it sounded like a cover of Led Zeppelin's 'The Song Remains the Same.' Three games at Rose-Hulman over the weekend and it all added up to three one-run victories for the Fightin' Engineers. Bluffton fell to 11-14 overall and 4-11 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose-Hulman improved to 13-15 and 11-4 in the HCAC.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton offense finally dusted off the cobwebs on a beautiful Good Friday at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology but the Engineers would not be denied, taking a pair of one-run games with some late-inning heroics. Bluffton fell to 11-13 overall and 4-10 in the Heartland Conference, while Rose improved to 12-15 and 10-4 in the HCAC.
In our quick trip you’ll notice lots of reds, pinks and in-between shades as trees put on their spring robes. In a few weeks lots more blooming things will catch our attention.
We’ll watch for those, too.

The events begin on Friday, May 5, with the Juried Student Art Exhibition in Sauder Visual Arts Center. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
