Young Distance Runners Start Strong

RALEIGH, NC – A pair of youthful Bradley men's distance runners, sophomore Max Dieterich and freshman Michael Rebello, opened the 2022 outdoor track championships with impressive showings in day one of the three-day Raleigh Relays Thursday evening at Dail Soccer Field/Track Complex.

Dieterich opened the meet for the Braves by running a strong race in the ninth of 15 sections of the 1,500 meters. Dieterich, who finished sixth in the mile at the 2022 MVC Indoor Track Championships last month, raced to a second-place finish in his 14-man section of the 1,500 meters Thursday.
