Brown, who competes out of North Carolina A&T University, improved his season-best time to 7.76 during the meet, just .02 seconds off the last qualifying time for the finals. However, he says the opportunity to compete was enough.
“I am really happy that I placed ninth overall,” he said. “It’s just for me now to remain humble and embrace the journey, and whatever happens, happens and progressively move forward.”
North Carolina A&T University finished fifth overall in the men’s competition and Brown said he is proud of his team’s effort.
“I am really happy for our team and everyone that performed,” he said.
He added his focus lies on his outdoor opener at the University of Texas next month. “Now it’s time for outdoors,” said Brown. “Our outdoor season starts in two weeks… so we’re very excited.”
