Brandon Dart Earns Weekly MIAA Honor
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Freshman Brandon Dart (Fremont, Neb.) earned Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) Cross Country Runner of the
Week accolades, announced today by the league offices.
Dart led the Bearcat pack to a 15th-place team finish at the Roy Griak Invitational
this past Saturday. He took 54th overall with a mark of 26:56 on the 8K course. There
were a total of 368 runners in competition.
Dart has now taken first on the team in all three events in 2004. At the season-opening
Mule Run (Sept. 10), Dart was 17th overall while he was 41st at the Woody Greeno
(Sept. 18).
The conference recognition was the first for a Northwest runner this season.
Lauren White of Truman State University took the weekly female honor.
“Brandon has probably been our most consistent runner,” said head coach Richard
Alsup. “He came in prepared (this offseason) to practice. It is not a surprise on how
well he is doing.”
