PEORIA, Ill. -- Junior Nadia Potgieter of the women's cross country team is the August Prairie Farms Bradley Athlete of the Month, earning the honor after a fan vote.
 
Potgieter won the Women's 4K race at the season-opening Hawkeye Invitational in Iowa City on Aug. 30, completing the distance in 14:01.3. She paced a Braves team that placed six runners in the top 10 and ultimately won the team title at the Hawkeye Invite, prevailing over the hosts, Iowa.
