(Exira, IA) — Last week, Exira EHK’s standout freshman cross country runner won two races and for that she is the GG Harris Farm Bureau KSOM Athlete of the Week.
Last Tuesday, Brown became the Rolling Valley Conference champion, dominating the race — winning by almost a full four minutes over her teammate Senior Michelle Wilson. She followed that up on Thursday in Dunlap with a solid 27 second win over Josie McFarland of Westwood. Brown’s time in the Boyer Valley meet was 19:14.53 which is her best time of the season so far. Brown says she stayed patient which helped her win on Thursday
Brown is in a very athletic family with five younger brothers; her mother-in-law is Amber Brown, the Volleyball Head Coach at Harlan and her Dad is Exira EHK’s Cross Country and Track Head Coach Kevin Brown. Amber says having her Dad be her coach helps her a lot
Brown knew early on that she was born to run
Brown’s ultimate goal this season is to go to state and the state qualifying meet is next Thursday. She says she just needs to stay positive
