Way to go Izaiah! From Amsterdam, NY. A really tough old industrial town, though all of the mills have long since moved out. Really proud of you son.

Love it! Anyone know his indoor time ranking on the national collegiate level?

Brown demonstrated why he is considered one of the fastest runners in the country, finishing the 400m in a time of 45.62. The mark was a school record, which was previously set by Brown on Jan. 9 during the Rutgers Invitational with a time of 46.61. His Big Ten title time was .61 seconds faster than the next time of 46.63 produced by Champ Page of Ohio State, and is also the fastest collegiate time in the country this indoor season.

There was a reference someplace in the last week that his time was the 3rd fastest in the NCAA this season

BTN aired the meet the other day but mistakenly put on the 2015 meet.

His Big Ten title time was .61 seconds faster than the next time of 46.63 produced by Champ Page of Ohio State, and is also the fastest collegiate time in the country this indoor season.

Here is an excerpt from an SK.com story with the qualification for the NCAA indoor championship.
"Brown captured the Big Ten indoor title in the 400m with a time of 45.62, currently the third-fastest collegiate time in the country and the fastest by a freshman this season. Brown’s mark is also a school record, which he previously set on Jan. 9 during the Rutgers Invitational with a time of 46.61."

I think Brown's time may have been the fastest at the time he ran it but it may have been surpassed later in the day from another meet.
Either way, it is a fabulous time and is a threat to win an NCAA title.

Jermaine Griffith ran a 46.39 to win the IC4a 400 meter championship today. This would have been a school record except for the times that Brown ran last week at the B10 championship.
