Senior Jake Hoffert of the Bradley cross country team earned Missouri Valley Conference Male Cross Country Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season, leading the Braves this past weekend at Notre Dame's Joe Piane Invitational.
Racing against some of the nation's top runners in a meet that featured 11 nationally-ranked schools, Hoffert led BU by placing 28th overall of 165 runners during the men's five-mile race. The senior clocked a time of 23:59.46 to shave more than 37 seconds off his previous PR at the distance and finish as the top Bradley runner by nearly 49 seconds.
