Lewis University’s Ashley Butler (Pontiac, Ill. /Pontiac) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Indoor Field Athlete of the Week.
Butler, a senior for the Flyers, earned a season-best, first-place finish and NCAA Division II provisional mark of 5.67 meters on Saturday in the long jump. Her leap was a fieldhouse record at the Cardinal Classic hosted by North Central College. Butler is still ranked first on the GLVC performance list and 14th in the NCAA.
Lewis will next be competing at the GLVC Indoor Track & Field Championships hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
Other top performers in the GLVC last week included Indianapolis’ Valerie Wagner and Kierra Allen.
