Now in its 77th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. Over those previous 76 years the League has inspired student-athletes to realize their academic aspirations, maximize their athletics potential, and cultivate their leadership skills to prepare them for life beyond their collegiate experience.
As part of a partnership with
Jostens, each week through the academic year, we will honor an OVC student-athlete who has excelled in the classroom, in addition to earning accolades on the playing surface.
This week's honoree is Morehead State senior distance runner
Megan Bush. Last year she earned the OVC Academic Medal of Honor for her work in the classroom. During the 2023 season she competed in six meets with her top time coming during the OVC Championship. This year she has competed in two events, including placing 22nd at the Thundering Herd Invitational.
