Track & Field 4/7/2020 11:19:00 AM

The Bradley track teams were honored for their work both on the track and in the classroom on Tuesday as 13 Braves were recognized on the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Teams.

Seniors Jake Hoffert, Luke Hoffert and Scott Seymour, juniors Michael Hahndorf and Alec Hartman and sophomores Jack Franklin, Evan Mitchell and Joey Simon all represented the Bradley men's team as honorees.

Seniors Abby Jockisch and Gabby Juarez, junior McKenzie Altmayer and sophomores Ayah Aldadah and Hannah Ivy all earned the accolade for the BU women's team.

Bradley's 13 total honorees are the third-most in program history with only 18 selections a year ago and 15 Braves in 2018 receiving more scholar-athlete accolades.

The 2020 MVC Scholar-Athlete teams featured revised criteria due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the cancellation of the MVC Outdoor Championships. To qualify, a student-athlete must have held a 3.3 grade point average with sophomore academic and athletic standing, while either finishing in the top eight of an individual event or top three of a relay at the 2020 MVC Indoor Championship or have met the athletic criteria in any past MVC Outdoor Championship.
