After leading the Bradley cross country program to unprecedented success in 2018, Darren Gauson was named the recipient of The Roy Griak Award on Tuesday as the USTFCCCA Midwest Region Men's Coach of the Year.
Under Gauson's watch, the Bradley cross country teams have become one of the premier programs in the Midwest. Most recently, the BU men's team earned its first-ever invitation to the NCAA Championship by placing second at the NCAA Midwest Regional last Friday. The Braves also entered the national rankings for the first time in school history at No. 25 on Monday.
