For a second consecutive week a Butler men's track and field student-athlete has been named the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference Men's Track Athlete of the Week.

Ainsley Campbell, a sophomore middle distance runner from Kingston, Jamaica, had a big performance at the 102nd Kansas Relays over the weekend. Campbell won the men's 800m with a time of 1:51.60. He finished ahead of runners from Cloud County, Kansas, Highland, Western Illinois and Wartburg.

The time of 1:51.60 was Campbell's second best run of the season in the 800 as he previously posted an NJCAA Nationals qualifying time of 1:51.57 at Wichita State's KT Woodman Classic on April 11th.

Campbell joins Butler freshman distance runner Kamohelo Ramatsebe who was named the KJCCC and NJCAA Division 1 Track Athlete of the Week on April 15th.

Butler's next competition comes May 1st through May 3rd as they travel to Coffeyville to compete in the Region 6 Outdoor Championships.
