Knoxville, TN - Bryan College's 4x800-meter relay squad took fourth place on their way to a new school record at the 44th annual Sea Ray Relays over the weekend. The University of Tennessee hosted nearly 1,200 athletes during the four-day event on the newly renovated Tom Black Track at LaPorte Stadium.

The quartet of Josh Bradley, Bryson Harper, Jason McLeod, and Alex Stephens traded the lead with Tennessee and Illinois State during the first two legs of the relay, and currently hold the second fastest time in the NAIA at 7:41.90.

"It was impressive with how our young guys competed. Harper ran aggressively and hit a new level with his performance, especially when you compare it to his 1500 on Friday. I'm curious to see if we can carry this type of mindset into the conference championship," said Head Coach Rodney Stoker.

Bradley took fourth in the second section of the men's 800-meter run with a 1:52.73 on Friday night after Harper ran a personal best in the 1500-meter run of 3:58.63 earlier that afternoon.
