Erin Brown has been named the Women’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week after her performance at the West Virginia University Invitational, in which schools from all three levels of the NCAA competed.
Brown earned a fifth place finish in the 500 meter dash with a time of 1:27.05. In a field of 14 runners, she finished behind four NCAA Division I runners. Her time is the first time posted in the 500 meter distance in the conference this season, but ranks third all-time in the conference (time was reduced to 1:25.96 for NCAA purposes because of track dimensions at West Virginia University).
Brown also competed as a member of the 4x400 and the 4x800 relay teams. The 4x400 team finished eighth overall, while the 4x800 earned a fourth place finish with a time of 10:44.36.
