Braves Wrap Up MVC Indoor Track Championship

Cedar Falls, Iowa – The Bradley women's track and field team added another title and two-All-Valley performances to wrap up the team's most successful performance at the Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship on Sunday.

Freshman Julia Nielsen highlighted the day for the Braves, claiming the individual title in the 800m run. The rookie clocked a time of 2:09.16 to edge out her sister, Wilma Nielsen, by 16 hundredths of a second for the title. Julia's time is the second-best in school history – and just 13th hundredths of a second behind Wilma's record of 2:09.
