Junior Shelby Walton of the Boston University women's track & field team has been named this week's GoTerriers.com Student-Athlete of the Week.

At the Terrier Invitational on Jan. 28, Walton broke a 31-year-old school record in the 200m dash. She crossed the finish line with an ECAC-qualifying time of 23.95 seconds, just 0.05 seconds faster than BU's previous record holder (Sharon Danville).

The Danbury, Conn., native also won the 60m dash with an ECAC-qualifying time of 7.58.

The women's track & field team will return to action on Friday (Feb. 4) at the Battle of Beantown.
