Senior forward Elijah Childs of the Bradley men's basketball team earned Preseason All-Missouri Valley Conference First Team honors, announced by the league on Thursday.
The two-time defending MVC Tournament Champions, Bradley was selected third in the annual preseason poll, as selected by the conference's head coaches, SIDs and media members – BU's third-straight season with a top-four selection.
Childs was one of five players listed on the preseason All-Valley First Team. A two-time all-conference honoree, Childs was named to the league's second team following his junior campaign despite missing 12 games with an injury.
