Brown selected to 2022 All-MIAA Men’s Outdoor Track and Field team

FREELAND, Mich. – Olivet College junior Jordon Brown has been named to the 2022 All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Men's Outdoor Track & Field team. The All-MIAA team is made up of the event winners at the MIAA Field Day.

Brown repeated as the MIAA outdoor champion in the 400-meter dash with a personal-best time of 48.12 seconds. Also, in individual events, he finished second in the 200-meter dash (21.93) and fifth in the long jump (22 feet, 3-3/4 inches). Brown also ran legs of the third-place 4x400-meter relay and fifth-place 4x100-meter relays. He is now a four-time All-MIAA honoree after also earning All-league outdoor honors in 2021, and indoor honors in 2020 and 2021.

"Jordon loves to compete and has very high expectations of himself every time he steps on the starting line," said Olivet head coach Karen Lutzke. "He continues to lead his team not only with his performances on the track but with his drive to push his teammates to be the best they can be. Every day Jordon is encouraging and cheering for his teammates, which in turn helps him run faster because his focus is on them more than himself."

Brown's 400-meter time currently sits No. 19 on the NCAA Division III Performance list. At the conclusion of last chance meets next week, the top 20 student-athletes will be invited to compete at the 2022 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships May 26-26 at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.
