The Bradley track teams concluded the 2019 outdoor season in the NCAA Track & Field Quarterfinals, running in the 800m and 3,000m steeplechase on Friday night in the NCAA West Preliminary.
Sophomore Alec Hartman opened the competition for the Braves in the 800m. One day after advancing to the quarterfinals and setting a school record in the event, Hartman just missed making it to the semifinals as the sophomore placed 14th on Friday with 12 runners advancing. Hartman crossed the finish line in 1:49.19 and was just nine hundredths of a second off his school-record pace from the night before.
