Busby was also named the Sun Belt Conference Field Athlete of the Year and Sun Belt Conference Co-Most Outstanding Performer for his efforts.
Bryant continued to lead Busby to a successful career after becoming the first athlete in Sun Belet history to win a conference championship in the discus, weight throw and the indoor shot put.
