Michael Brown Earns NCCAA Weekly Honor

2017 Apr 25

Fresh off of his three gold-medal performance at the American Southwest Conference championships, McMurry University senior sprinter Michael Brown of Oxnard, CA has been named as the National Christian College Athletic Association Student-Athlete of the Week for men's track and field.

Brown was voted the "Outstanding Track Athlete" of the meet, after posting a pair of individual victories in the 200 meter dash (21.32) and 400 meters (48.91). Brown also anchored the War Hawks' winning 4x400 relay (which had a time of 3:17.50), fighting off a stiff challenge from Sul Ross State (3:17.65) in the final lap.

Brown and the War Hawks' team won an unprecedented 15th ASC track and field championship in as many years in the league (1999-2012, 2017). 2017 was the first time that McM had competed for a league championship of any kind, since its 2012 ASC crown.
