posted by: Ryan Powell
Former NCAA champion and Washington student-athlete Ryan Brown is headed to the 2009 World Track and Field Championships in August. Brown finished third in the 800-meters on the final day of the U.S. Track & Field Championships at Oregon's Hayward Field. According to a press release, Huskie athletes racked up seven Top-10 finishes: Brad Walker (1st, men's pole vault), Aretha Thurmond (2nd, women's discus), Brown (3rd, men's 800m), Mel Lawrence (5th, women's steeplechase), Scott Roth (tie-8th, men's pole vault), Norris Frederick (9th, men's long jump). Brown is the first Huskie to earn his way onto Team USA since Jim Seymour ran the hurdles in the 1972 Olympics.

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
