Caleb Swanigan, Devynne Charlton Named Purdue Athletes of the Year

The Purdue athletic department is wrapping up things for the 2016-17 school year and today it named its male and female athletes of the year. It was really no surprise for either.

Female Athlete of the Year: Devynne Charlton - Track & Field

Charlton was outstanding for the women’s track team that was runner-up in the Big Ten during the indoor season and won the women’s outdoor track & field championships. She finished the year with five Big Ten championships and three First Team All-America honors. Oh, and before all this she qualified to represent her native Bahamas in the Rio Olympics.
