Bradley Men Claim Fifth-Straight MVC Championship; Jake Hoffert wins Second Individual Title

The Bradley men's cross country team rewrote the record book on Saturday as the Braves matched a conference record by winning their fifth-straight Missouri Valley Conference Championship and senior Jake Hoffert became the first runner in school history to claim two individual MVC crowns.

The Braves are the first team since Wichita State from 1971 to 1975 to win five-straight MVC Men's Championships, matching the conference record. On the women's side, Bradley registered its seventh-straight top-two finish at the meet, finishing as runner up on Saturday.

Overall, the Bradley men featured the top four finishers and five of the top seven to set a modern-day conference record with 17 points in the winning effort, easily defeating runner-up Drake with 74 points.
