McDonnell Breaks Own Record in Steeplechase

DES MOINES, IA – Sophomore Sophia McDonnell set the school record in the Women's 3,000m Steeplechase and followed Charlie Parrish's runner-up finish in the Men's 3,000m Steeplechase with a runner-up finish of her own to cap the second day of action for Bradley in the 2022 Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Drake University's Drake Stadium.

Parrish improved upon his fourth-best time in program history, clocking 8:51.35 to finish just 15 hundredths of a second behind event champion Aziz JDai of Drake and earn the fifth All-MVC honor of his overall running career at Bradley.
