PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley University track and field athlete Kaitlyn Sheppard has been named this week's Busey Bank Scholar-Athlete of the Week, announced Tuesday. Sheppard was honored after winning a conference championship in the women's 1500m event and placing second in the women's 5000m event at the MVC Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Carbondale.

The junior from Cheltenham, England, was one of three Braves to win a conference event at the Outdoor Championships. Sheppard's championship-winning 1500m run set a new MVC Championship record as she finished in 4:16.84. This is Sheppard's second MVC Championship of the season after she won the women's 3000m event at the Indoor Championships in March. Later on, Sheppard placed second in the women's 5000m race to earn All-MVC honors.

Sheppard's strong performance and academic success have earned her this week's Busey Bank Scholar-Athlete honor.
