WKU Tops C-USA in Titles; Cavanaugh, Lamp named Athletes of the Year

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -

Three years of Conference USA membership. Three years of leading Conference USA in championships. And, not only that, WKU student-athletes have also contributed to the highest cumulative grade point average across the board in program history to wrap up one of the most well-rounded athletic years in school history in 2016-17.

At the top of those accomplishments, two student-athletes stood tallest as football’s Forrest Lamp and volleyball’s Alyssa Cavanaugh have been named WKU’s John O. Oldham Student-Athletes of the Year for 2016-17.

“Our coaches and student-athletes deserve enormous credit for their many successes, unprecedented in some cases, on and off the playing field,” said Director of Athletics Todd Stewart.
