March 30, 2022 | Women's Track and Field
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Bowling Green State University track & field student-athlete Kaila Butler was named the MAC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Week, as announced by the Mid-American Conference on Wednesday (March 30).
Â
Butler (Port Coquitlam, B.C.)Â posted a personal best in the hammer throw, with a throw of 67.28m at the Raleigh Relays. That throw is the best in the MAC and the sixth-best in the nation thus far this season. It is also the sixth-farthest throw in program history, and only former BGSU athlete (and multi-time All-American) Brooke Pleger has a farther hammer toss. Butler placed third in the event at the Raleigh Relays, and one of the two athletes that finished ahead of her was not attached to a school.
Â
The Scholar-Athlete of the Week Award is presented to a MAC male and/or female student-athlete who has a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and performs well during that week's competition. An institution can nominate up to one male and one female student-athlete per week in any of that current season's sports. The winners are selected by a MAC's Faculty Athletics Representatives (FARs).
Â
Butler has a 4.00 as she works on her master of education degree.
