The Bellevue University distance track squads, preparing for the upcoming North Star Athletic Association Championships, competed in one final tune-up meet at Saturday's Prairie Wolf Invitational hosted by Nebraska Wesleyan University. High winds that exceeded 30 mph at times slowed times but the Bruins turned in many competitive finishes.
After poor weather prompted Doane University to postpone Friday and Saturday's events at the Jim Dutcher Invite, the Bruin distance track squad finally found some conditions conducive to fast running on Sunday afternoon in Crete. Partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-50s allowed two Bruins to establish new school records while two others had big personal bests.
