Missouri Valley Conference

Men's Track and Field 3/4/2017 1:08:00 PM

Junior Haran Dunderdale of the men's track team repeated as Bradley Athlete of the Month, earning the honor for February.

Dunderdale completed one of the most successful months in Bradley men's track history in February. He won two titles at the 2017 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championship, becoming the first Brave in program history to claim two crowns at the meet. His championship in the mile run also made him the first BU student-athlete to win an individual track title at the MVC indoor meet, while being the first to win any individual title since Len Spicer won the triple jump during the 1983 championship – 34 years ago.

Additionally, the junior was part of the distance medley relay team that won the title at the MVC Championship, while also setting the school record at 10:02.07. Dunderdale also won the distance medley relay at the 2015 MVC Indoor Championship, making his three titles the most in school history.

During the month, Dunderdale added the school record in the 3,000m run at the Meyo Invitational at Notre Dame, clocking a time of 8:04.87 to top the previous program standard of 8:05.66.

Dunderdale earned the Bradley Athlete of the Month accolades after a fan vote on the school's twitter account. Dunderdale collected 32 percent of the vote to edge Donte Thomas of the men's basketball team (31 percent), Caitlyn McCarron of softball (19 percent) and Leti Lerma of the women's basketball team (18 percent).
