Braden Wins Sixth Career Race

SALEM, Ore. Boise State University seniors Forest Braden and Ty Axtman finished first and second, respectively, at the 32nd Annual Charles Bowles Invitational, Saturday, at Bush’s Pasture Park.

Braden posted an eight-kilometer time of 23-minutes, 52.45-seconds, to record his sixth-career individual title. The All-American has finished first or second in each of his three races this season.

Axtman, a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference selection in 2005, posted his third-consecutive top 15 finish and his second of the season in the top three, finishing second, 18.70 seconds behind Braden. The dup led the Bronco men to a sixth place team finish.

On the women’s side, three Broncos finished in the top 20, leading Boise State to a second place team finish. Sophomore Breanna Sande finished 14th, posting a 5k time of 18:00.15. Junior Chaly Jones finished in 15th, only 1.2 seconds after Sande. Sophomore Kendra Hernandez made it three-consecutive Broncos across the finish line, finishing 16th with a time of 18:09.05.

The Broncos continue their season, Oct. 7, at the Eastern Oregon Invitational in LaGrande, Ore.
