Eastern Washington University women's track and field competitor Madison Doepker and men's tennis player Jeremy Field have been selected as the May Scholar-Athletes of the Month as selected by the EWU athletic department.
 
Doepker is a junior from Walla Walla (Wash.) High School, and is an accounting major with a 3.98 grade point average. Field is from Seyssinet-Pariset, France, and attended Grenoble Academy. He has a 3.55 GPA as an economics major.
 
Doepker earned a pair of All-Big Sky Conference honors by finishing in the top three in two events in May at the Big Sky Conference Outdoor Championships. She had a season-best throw of 154-8 in the javelin to win that event after placing third as a sophomore. She was third in the hammer in 2019 with a throw of 193-2.
 
She went on to compete at the NCAA West Preliminaries in Sacramento, Calif., where she placed 34th in the javelin (141-6) and 41st in the hammer (178-9). Her mark of 154-8 in the javelin ranks ninth in school history, and her 194-6 best in the hammer is fourth. The school record is 203-1 set in 2016 by Kaytlyn Coleman, and Doepker will have her senior season in 2020 to try to break that record.
 
Indoors, Doepker has a best of 59-4 3/4 in the 20-pound weight throw to rank sixth in EWU history. Later this month she will be named to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team for the outdoor season, making her a perfect 6-of-6 thus far in her winning those accolades.
 
During the 2018-19 season, Field recorded an overall singles record of 12-7 and 7-3 in Big Sky play, ultimately landing himself first team All-Big Sky Conference honors after being selected to the second team last season. The senior primarily competed at No. 1 in singles play throughout his final season as an Eagle.
 
He recorded just three losses on Big Sky play this season and won six out of his 10 final matches for Eastern. Field ended his career on a three-match winning streak, defeating opponents from Montana State, Montana and Idaho.
 
Along with his success in singles play this season, the senior also recorded an overall record of 8-10 (overall) and 3-6 (Big Sky) in doubles play. Field teamed up with teammate Mikayel Khachatryan for an overall record of 6-7.

Field will also be selected to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team when that squad is released later this month. The Morgan State transfer was also on the Big Sky All-Academic team in 2018.
