Butler and the men’s basketball team hit the road on Wednesday when they travel to Juniata to take on the Eagles at 7PM.

Stewart is being honored for her career-debut performance at the Ducharme Invitational Meet where she earned second place in the 200-meter dash (28.45) the teams highest finish of the day. She also placed seventh in the 55-meter dash (7.66) and 10^th in the long jump (4.62).
