Track All-American Daniel Gagne (Wauwatosa, Wis.) and record-setting women's basketball player Leti Lerma (Muscatine, Iowa) have been honored as the Bradley Varsity Club Men's and Women's Most Outstanding Athletes for the 2016-17 season.
Gagne is the first member of the men's track and field program to receive the accolade since Jim Potter in 1973 and just the second overall since the award was introduced in 1967. Lerma, meanwhile, becomes the eighth member of the women's basketball team to receive the recognition.
Named to the USTFCCCA All-America Second Team, Gagne became the first Bradley man to qualify for the NCAA Division I Track & Field Championship in 42 years (Potter in 1975).
