Drake University sophomore Isaac Basten won his second Missouri Valley Conference title Friday afternoon when he took top honors in the men's 5,000 meters.
Basten's 5,000-meter title comes one year after he earned league Freshman of the Year honors with his 3,000-meter title. Basten bested the field by five full seconds in a race that actually covered 5,200 meters due to an officiating error.
His title is the seventh 5,000-meter title by a Bulldog and the second-straight year Drake has won the event after his teammate Maximilian Fridrich won it last season.
