Elena Danielson of the Bradley women's cross country/track and field teams is one of four student-athletes named a 2017 Missouri Valley postgraduate scholarship winner, announced by Commissioner Doug Elgin on Friday.
The Missouri Valley Conference Faculty Athletics Representatives Committee votes to award postgraduate scholarships to four student-athletes, due to their exemplary academic and athletic performances. Each receives a $5,000 postgraduate scholarship from the conference.
Danielson, a native of St. Cloud, Minnesota, helped the Braves to a top-two finish at the MVC Cross Country Championship for the fourth-straight season, placing 18th. She ran the 3,000m and 5,000m events during the indoor season, posting a career-best time of 17:42.
