Valley-Record Nine Braves Earn Scholar-Athlete Honors

After sweeping the 2018 Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Championships, the Bradley men's and women's teams combined for nine MVC Scholar-Athlete honorees, tying the conference record.

Six student-athletes on the Bradley men's cross country team earned the honor for work on and off the course, tying a conference record for a single team (2004 Southern Illinois women, 2008 Indiana State men and 2013 Southern Illinois women). The Bradley women's team added three honorees as Bradley nine total selections tied Indiana State's record set in 2009.

Seniors Haran Dunderdale and Michael Ward, juniors Will Anderson, Jake Hoffert and Luke Hoffert and sophomore Alec Hartman all collected the honor for the BU men, while senior Brooke Nusser and juniors Abby Jockisch and Gabby Juarez earned the accolade for the women.
