TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Two Drake University track and field student-athletes were crowned Missouri Valley Conference champions while six others earned All-MVC honors during the final day of the MVC Outdoor Championship.
Drake's champions included Bas Van Leersum (Zaandam, The Netherlands) in the men's 400-meter hurdles and Emma Huston (Des Moines, Iowa) winning her final race at an MVC Championship in the 5,000 meters. Combined with Robert McCann's (Mississauga, Ontario) title in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, the Bulldogs finished the three-day championship with three individual titles.
"This senior class has been amazing with Rob and Emma leading the way and Pierce Vincent and Kayla Bell coming in clutch with top-3 performances," said Drake head coach Natasha Kaiser-Brown.
