The Bradley track teams completed a strong opening day to the 2019 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship with both the men and women claiming one title.
Senior Michael Ward began the championship races by winning his second-straight title in the 5,000m run on Saturday night. The senior posted his collegiate best time of 14:23.91 – the sixth-best in school history – to become the seventh runner in Valley history (and first since 2014) to repeat as conference champion in the event.
As Ward was repeating as champion, the BU women's distance medley relay team won their first-ever conference crown.
