The Bradley cross country teams were both recognized by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as All-Academic Teams on Friday, while sophomore Jake Hoffert was named to the team as an individual.
The first Brave to win the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in 52 years, Hoffert crossed the finish line first overall to lead BU to its third-straight team title. The sophomore also earned NCAA All-Midwest Region accolades by placing ninth in the nine-state meet in November and then became one of four at-large selections to the NCAA Championship.
