For a team with no indoor facility to call their own, the Bobcats would do well to make themselves at home in Kent State Field House.
Ohio will be in Kent for its next two meets, beginning with tomorrow's Doug Raymond Invitational.
Like last weekend's Buckeye Classic, the Doug Raymond Invitational does not keep team scores, so the focus, head coach Clay Calkins said, will be continued progression of individual performances.
We've got certain athletes that have stepped up over winter break and have done the work
and they're looking pretty good he said. And we have a lot of athletes that have a ways to go to get back in shape. Calkins said he has been impressed with many of his new recruits thus far into the indoor season. He said this weekend's meet would be a great opportunity for his freshmen including multi-event athlete •Olivia Vitou
to follow up an impressive Buckeye Classic.
We've got some great performers that have come in as freshmen, Calkins said. Vitou is one of our solid recruits from last year. She had some good performances last week. I think she could have some real breakout performances this week in Kent.
Calkins said it would be a down weekend, however, for his distance runners who performed well across the board in Columbus. He said they would be relied upon heavily, though, next week when Kent State hosts the All-Ohio Championship. He made no secret that while he wants his team to be competitive, the spotlight will be on Ohio's performance in the return trip to Kent.
We're laying off a little bit (this weekend) and then getting ready for the All-Ohio Championships. We're going to key in on that meet next week
he said. We're just trying to look for a general improvement from the entire team... You want the entire team to be elevated.
That's what we're keying on this week. We just want an overall better team performance.

33284,2011-01-13 19:13:00,BREAKING: Case of bed bugs confirmed in Brown Hall,Ohio University officials e-mailed residents of Brown Hall earlier today informing them of a confirmed case of bed bugs.,Ohio University officials e-mailed residents of Brown Hall earlier today informing them of a confirmed case of bed bugs.
... (this case) is the first incident to be reported on our campus, the e-mail stated. This was isolated to one room, and no other incidents have been reported.
It is unknown in which room the infestation occurred.
Bed bugs are small parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals while they are asleep
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. Although they are not a medical or public health hazard
the insects can cause itching and loss of sleep
according to the site.
Environmental Health & Safety will be taking steps to safely and effectively treat the room as well as the adjoining rooms, the OU e-mail said. While we do not believe there is a large outbreak or epidemic of bed bugs, we do plan to be vigilant and ask that you do the same, it said.
The message did not say what specific steps OU would take to rid the residence hall of the bugs
but the CDC website stated insecticide sprays are commonly used to treat for bed bugs.
Signs of an infestation include bite marks on one's body
the bugs' exoskeletons
rusty-colored blood spots and a sweet musty odor
