Just like the indoor season, Bouchard set the pace for the conference to start outdoor competition with a new conference record in the high jump. He cleared two meters at the Margaret Simmons Invitational.
The previous conference record was held by Cedarville’s Joshua Woika at 1.95m set last season at the Walsh Invitational.
Recently, Bouchard was also named the Great Midwest Men’s Indoor Freshman of the Year as voted upon by the league’s coaches.
While winning the high jump competition, Bouchard also took second in the triple jump and the javelin throw.
