MVC Track & Field Championships

A slightly disappointing day for Bradley..

first - as far as team scores Bradley will finish far off the pace - probably last place since we don't even compete in most events...

but we do run the long distance running events and were expected to do well in them...

So far some good times....

Women's 1500 - our best finisher was 3rd best in heats (Delvo) - we also had 21st - finals Saturday
Women's 10,000 - Bradley women finished #1, #3, & #4!

Men's 1500 - our best finish in prelims was 3rd (Gagne) - we also had 6th - finals Saturday
Men's 10,000 - best place currently is 12th but race is still underway
