Director of Track & Field Maurice Pierce told HamptonPirates.com that he felt “this championship right here was a combination of a serious group effort, and [senior Ce’aira Brown] was the knockout punch.”
Brown had another spectacular showing, adding to her illustrious Hampton career that includes several First Team All-MEAC selections, and took home Most Outstanding Runner honors.
The Philadelphia native shattered both a school and a MEAC record she owns. The two events were the mile run, where she broke her school record by almost five seconds, and the 800-meter run that saw her beat her MEAC record by nearly three seconds.
In addition to these victories, Brown won the 3,000-meter run in a season-best 10:06.42, and was the anchor on the distance medley relay squad that won first place.
