Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green State University senior Kaila Butler has been named the Mid-American Conference Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week for field. Butler set a new personal best in the weight throw as the Falcons competed at Grand Valley State's The Big Meet Friday.
Butler's last throw of the day was her best one as she recorded a distance of 67-feet-4 (20.52m). That mark is more than two feet further than any other student-athlete in the MAC has thrown this year and has her in contention for a bid to the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field National Championships.
