Each spring, the Bradley Department of Athletics presents the annual Alumni B-Club Most Outstanding Male and Female Athlete Awards.  In order to be eligible for the award, active student-athletes must have earned All-Missouri Valley Conference notice during the current athletic year.  The list of nominees is announced during the annual Senior Send-Off/Charles Orsborn Award ceremony and the votes of head coaches and selected staff members are tallied following the final athletic competition of the year.

The 2012 Alumni B-Club Most Outstanding Athletes are runner Sarah McMahon and soccer player Bryan Gaul.  A freshman runner, McMahon earned All-Missouri Valley Conference honors during each of the three running seasons by placing seventh at the 2011 State Farm MVC Cross Country Championships and third in the 5,000-meters at both the indoor and outdoor conference championship meets.  She also earned Junior All-America honors in cross country.  A senior forward, Gaul was a first-team All-Midwest Region and All-MVC choice for the second straight year, leading the Braves to a 15-6-2 record and their second straight trip to the NCAA Tournament.  After the season, Gaul was taken in the MLS Supplemental Draft by the Los Angeles Galaxy and has begun his pro career in the back line for the defending MLS Cup champions.
