LAWRENCE, Kan. – Sophomore Haran Dunderdale (Grantham, England/Carres) finished 10th in the opening heat and 26th overall in the men's steeplechase at the NCAA West Preliminary to pace three Braves in the field for the Bradley men's track & field team Friday.

The steeplechase was originally scheduled for 9:30 p.m. Friday night, but was moved up to 1:25 p.m. due to forecasted inclement weather.  Dunderdale was in the first of four heats, which started as rescheduled for 1:25 p.m., and took 26th overall in the field with a time of 9:11.68.

With two of the four heats completed, thunderstorms in the Lawrence, Kan., area forced the final two heats to be delayed until 7 p.m. 

Seniors Chase Coffey (Hanna City, Ill./Farmington) and Eric Delvo (Springfield, Ill./Sacred Heart Griffin) returned to the track several hours later to both run in the third heat of the steeplechase and finished eighth and ninth, respectively in the heat.  Coffey was 29th overall in the field at 9:12.55, while Delvo was 34th at 9:14.67 to wrap up their Bradley careers. 

The final day of the NCAA West Prelim will include senior Emily Delvo (Springfield, Ill./Sacred Heart Griffin) in the 1,500 meters along with seniors Caitlin Busch (Waterloo, Ill./Freeburg) and Kristen Busch (Waterloo, Ill./Freeburg) in the women's 5,000 meters in addition to sophomore Michael Ward (Cardiff, South Wales/Llanishen) in the men's 5,000 meters.
