When Indianapolis native Haley Gill was searching for a college, she was drawn to Bluffton University’s small campus community and atmosphere.
“I graduated with 600 other students in my high school class, so coming to a place where you actually get to know everybody is nice,” said Gill. “At Bluffton, I knew I would be able to build relationships with my professors, and that’s something I’ve really enjoyed. You can talk to your professors about life or anything.”

Cross country
The Bluffton University cross country team was back in action Saturday at Salzman Stadium where they took part in an inter-squad 1600 meter race.
The women kicked off first and were led by freshman Jenia Freewalt (Delphos/St. John's), who ran an impressive time of 6:02. After the race, Jenia said, "I felt pretty good about the race as a whole. My legs were a little tired going into it, and it was a little windy, but overall I was just happy that I was able to get closer to my PR and get some more practice racing."
