Four Braves Earn Cross Country Academic Awards

A school-record four members of the Bradley cross country teams were honored for their work off the course on Thursday, earning selection to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Teams following the fall season.

Senior Michael Ward and juniors Jake Hoffert and Luke Hoffert all collected the accolade for the Bradley men's team, while junior Gabby Juarez was the first Bradley women to receive the honor since 2015.

In order to qualify for All-Academic honors, student-athletes must maintain a grade point average of at least 3.
