ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Senior Caitlin Busch (Waterloo, Ill./Freeburg) has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Women’s Track Athlete of the Week according to an announcement by the league office Tuesday.
Busch topped her own school record in the 3,000 meters set earlier this year and clocked the top time in the MVC this season Saturday at Notre Dame’s Meyo Invitational. She was ninth overall, crossing the line at 9:25.01 to improve her career-best time and school record by over seven seconds.
Her two times in the 3,000 meters are two of the three fastest times in the MVC season.
