PEORIA, Ill. -- Senior runner Caitlin Busch (Waterloo, Ill./Freeburg) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week after winning the 3,000 meter title at the 2016 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship.
Busch won the title in the 3,000 meters and narrowly took second in the 5,000 meters to earn all-conference honors in both events at last week’s MVC Indoor Track & Field Championship. Saturday, she and twin sister Kristen crossed the line together in the women’s 5,000 meters at 16:42.68 to take top honors, with Kristen finishing thousandths of a second ahead.
