Hurdler named Female Athlete of the Week

After setting a school record in the 100-meter hurdles last weekend, the Big 12 Conference named junior Ashley Brown its Female Athlete of the Week.

At the Arkansas Twilight Invitational on May 4, Brown crossed the line in 13.31 seconds to win the race and earn her second Kansas record.

Brown flirted with the record earlier in the season, running a 13.33 at the 2007 Kansas Relays. Jennie Wonder, who set the mark at the 2002 NCAA Championships, previously held the record at 13.32 seconds.

At the NCAA-last chance meet on March 3, Brown set a school record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.32 seconds. She also set an Anschutz Pavilion record at the Jayhawk Invitational, finishing in 8.48 seconds.

This is the second such award the Big 12 has given to Brown this season. The week of March 27, Brown was named the Big 12 Co-Female Athlete of the Week after winning the 100- and 400-meter hurdles at the Tulsa Duels.

Brown’s record ranks her third in the Big 12 in the 100-meter hurdles, and she’s also first in the conference in the 400-meter hurdles with a near school-record time of 58.48 seconds.
