BEK TV Host Wins at International Championship

April Lund Brings Home Gold

December 2025

When BEK TV viewers tune in to Ladies of Another View, they know April Lund brings energy, passion, and purpose to every conversation. But this November, she brought that same fire to an international stage representing Team USA at the South American Masters Athletic Championships 2025 in Santiago, Chile.


This year marked the first time the American delegation was invited to compete at the event, making April’s performance even more historic. She ran the women’s 10K in 35:37, claiming the very first gold medal for Team USA in Chile.


Just two days later, April returned to competition for the Masters Cross Country Championship, earning overall victory and another gold medal for Team USA.


Two races. Two gold medals. One incredible ambassador for BEK TV, North Dakota, and the United States. Congratulations, April! Your BEK family is proud of you, and our viewers are cheering you on every step of the way.
