Brown helped to set two school records last Saturday in the final home meet for the Bison this season.  The first-year sprinter posted a record time of 12.03 seconds in the 100-meter dash which improves on her previous record time of 12.19 seconds that happened on April 6, 2024, at the Bison Classic. Brown also ran in the 200-meter dash and recorded a time of 25.10 seconds. Brown placed first in both events. Brown was also part of the first place 4x100 meter relay team that broke a 1996 school record with a new time of 50.20 seconds to erase the old mark of 50.81 seconds. This is the seventh Athlete of the Week honor for Brown this academic year, who was also named Indoor Rookie of the Year at the United East Indoor Championships in February.
