Bradley, who utilized 2006 by moving to Canada to train with legendary throws coach, Antonaly Bonderchuck, returns to the Gauchos in the best shape of his life and equipped with a halcyon calm and confidence that will undoubtedly guide him well through the most elite competitions. Emmen, an All-American, returns to the Gauchos as the 4th best 800m runner in the entire nation, even amongst professionals.
