Bready USTFCCCA NCAA DII Athlete of Week

Though his MSU-Moorhead squad did not take home the NSIC title, Senior Derek Bredy (Hoffman, MN.) did all he could to go for the championship by scoring in five different events. He ran the division’s fastest time at 200 in the prelims, clocking in at 21.43 (converted to 21.06), and finished second in the finals at 21.69. 

He claimed titles at 60 meters and in the long jump to boost his team, running a 6.83 in the 60 finals and leaping 24'1.5" (7.35m) to win the long jump by nearly a foot. His 60 prelim time of 6.78 is the eighth-best in DII this season, and his long jump mark is tied for ninth in the division. He also ran a leg of the runner-up 4×400 relay team and finished third in the triple jump at 46'4" (14.12).  For all this, Bredy was awarded the USTFCCCA NCAA DII Athlete of the Week award.
