St. Charles, Mo. -- Missouri Southern sprinter Jeff Fraley won two events and picked up his second high point award of the season as the men's track and field team placed second at the 2015 MIAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships hosted by Lindenwood University.
Fraley won both the 100m and the 200m in the final day of the Championships. He raced to a time of 10.23 in the finals of the 100m, just .04 off the meet record and set a new MSSU school record in the process. He finished a full two-tenths of a second in front of the next competitor.
