VALPARAISO, Ind. - The Drake University men's cross country team earned its best finish at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in 13 years with a second-place finish Saturday morning. All five of the Bulldogs' scorers finished in the top 25 to lift the team to runner-up honors. Drake's women's team finished eighth in its competition.
Valparaiso hosted this year's championship at Sunset Hill Farm County Park.
Bradley took home top honors with all five of its runners finishing in the top seven, but the Drake men turned in a strong performance following its team title at the Bradley Pink Classic in mid-October.
