Northwest Missouri State University track and field distance runners Grant Bradley and Riley Witt took their talents to the 23rd annual Music City Track Carnival held May 30-31 at Ray Conn Sport Complex at Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn.
 
Bradley won the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 8:29.68 as he bested a field of seven competitors. It was a personal-best time for Bradley and would rank as the second-fastest clocking in the steeplechase for an NCAA Div. II runner this year as Wingate's Titouan Le Grix posted a mark of 8:29.02 on April 18. Bradley's previous best in the event came with a 8:32.43 clocking at the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif.
 
Witt captured third-place honors in the men's mile with a time of 4:02.09 as he took on a field of 19 runners. It is also a personal-best mark for Witt in the men's mile as his previous top mark came indoors at 4:02.56 at the Arkansas Qualifier in Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb. 25. Witt's time of 4:02.09 would rank as the second-best NCAA D-II time this year trailing only Chico State's Damian Garciaso's time of 4:01.88 set on April 12.
