Brittany Brown’s Atypical Journey

Brown, by his own admission, has followed a unique path compared to other American track and field athletes.

“I never won a state title in track and field, I didn’t go to a ‘big track school,’ I never won an NCAA title, I wasn’t signed right out of college by a shoe company, but I woke up an Olympian!!,” she said after the tryouts on X (formerly Twitter).

She graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in human services, where she ran the 100m and 200m for her varsity team, the Iowa Hawkeyes.
