What else are we mixing into today’s Brew?

🏀 Men defeat Penn
🏃 Great start at the Early Bird Meet
🔵 And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP 

🔼  Calm & Collected. It only took one game for Aaron Bradshaw to shake off his nerves. In only his second collegiate game, Bradshaw was totally in the zone and ended with his first career double-double, 17 points and 11 rebounds, against Penn. He and Rob Dillingham led the team with 17 points, and the Cats won the game 81-66.

🔼  New Record. Track season kicked off at the Indiana Early Bird Meet, and the team started off on the right foot. One Kentucky athlete already set a school record. Logan Coles threw 68’04.50”/20.84m in the weight throw, which surpassed the previous school record set in 2017 by David Cline. There were six new personal bests in three events and 29 Wildcat debuts.
