PEORIA, Ill. -- Redshirt junior runner Will Anderson (Avon, Ind./Avon) has been named the Bradley COUNTRY Financial Scholar-Athlete of the Week after winning the individual title at the 2018 Bradley Intercollegiate.

In his first race in two years, Anderson edged out teammate Michael Ward to win the 2018 Bradley Intercollegiate for his first career cross country title last Friday. Anderson ran the 8K course in 24:59.5 to shave more than 26 seconds off his previous collegiate-best time on a warm afternoon at Detweiller Park. His time was the eighth-fastest time by a Brave in the 32rd running of the meet, as he helped the Bradley men's cross country team to the title with a near-perfect 16 points.
