Brad Lowery won a combined nine individual North Central Conference titles and helped lead the Jackrabbit men's cross country program through a successful transition into Division I during a standout career from 2001-05.
On the track, the Pierre native claimed the mile run at the NCC Indoor Track and Field Championships three consecutive years from 2002-04 and set the league record in the event in 2004 with a time of 4 minutes, 6.53 seconds, while going on to earn All-America honors with a fifth-place finish. He added another league title in the 3,000-meter run at the 2004 indoor meet and won the 5,000-meter run at the 2003 NCC outdoor championships.
Lowery also won the NCC outdoor title in the 1,500 meters three consecutive years from 2002-04 and was an NCAA Division II national qualifier in each of those seasons. He was an All-American in the event in both 2003 and 2004, including finishing as national runner-up in 2003.
Lowery continued to hold the SDSU indoor record for the 3,000-meter run (8:05.04) at the time of his induction and held the outdoor record in the 5,000 meters (14:00.24) from 2005-17. He placed eighth in the indoor mile run at the 2005 USA Indoor Championships and later won both the 1,500- and 5,000-meter runs outdoors at the Drake Relays that same year.
In cross country, Lowery ran his way to the 2003 NCC individual title as the Jacks ended their conference affiliation at the Division II level with their third consecutive team title. He would go on to earn All-America honors for the second year in a row with a 10th-place finish at the NCAA Division II Championships, following a 15th-place effort in 2002.
After taking a redshirt year, Lowery marked his return to the cross country lineup in 2005 by winning the individual title at the 2005 Division I Independent Cross Country Championships as the Jackrabbits earned the team title. He closed his collegiate career by adding another 1,500-meter title at the 2005 Division I Independent Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Lowery also was honored for his work in the classroom by earning CoSIDA Academic All-America recognition two times and by receiving an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
