Bucklin, a sophomore from Sunburst, Mont., was chosen as the Track Athlete of the Week. 

Bucklin surpassed the NAIA 'B' standard, winning the 400-meter hurdles with a time equivalent to her personal best for Carroll at the Digger Spring Series No. 1 in Butte, Mont.  She clocked a time of 1 minute, 2.94 seconds, which is currently the 16th-fastest time in the NAIA.  This will be her second trip to the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships. 

Bucklin also placed in the top-3 in the 100-meter hurdles in the same meet, recording a time of 15.65 seconds.

This is Bucklin's second career Erck Hotels/Frontier Conference Women's Outdoor Track & Field weekly honor.
