Female Scholar Athlete of the Week: April 1st – April 7th, 2019
Miami's Olivia Bechtel, Track & Field (Senior, 3.62, Kinesiology)
Bechtel was part of a historic day for the RedHawk women at Cincinnati's Nikoloff Invitational. The junior served as the anchor for Miami's 4x400 team that set a new school record with a mark of 3:39.37. On top of that, Bechtel had a big day individually with top-two finishes in both the 200m (24.11) and 400m (53.95). Her 400m time places her in the top 50 nationally and first in the MAC, while the 4x400 relay team currently ranks 36th in the country.
