This
Week – Does Not Compete
Moravian senior
jumper/sprinter Ozzie Brown (Plymouth
Meeting, PA/Plymouth Whitemarsh) has captured the
NCAA Division III National Championship in the men's long jump at the 2008 NCAA
Division III Indoor National Championships hosted by Ohio Northern University. Brown, who entered the meet with the
season's best jump, leaped 7.31 meters (23 feet, 11 3/4 inches) on his third
and final jump of the preliminaries, and the distance held up to win the meet.
The runner-up was defending national champion Greg Tyson of Heidelberg College
at 7.26 meters (23 feet, ten inches).
Brown, who earns All-American honors for the second time in his
career and first time in the long jump, becomes the ninth Moravian
student-athlete to win a national championship and eighth in track & field.
His jump was his longest of the season after qualifying at 7.29 meters (23
feet, 11 inches). Brown's ten points
have the Greyhounds tied for third of 25 teams that had scored points in the
team standings after the first day of competition.
"A lot of people were
rooting for me, and I just thought about how it wasn’t just for me anymore, it
was about my coach, my family, and my friends," Brown said after the events. "My coach (Doug Pollard) past
away in October and I dedicated my season to him. I’ve spent three years
waiting to be here for the long jump and finally my senior I had my last hurrah
with a big jump."
Brown competed in two other events on the first day of the NCAA
Championship meet. He entered the meet ranked second in the 55-meter high
hurdles, and Brown won his
preliminary heat with the day's fastest time of the day at 7.47 seconds to head
to the championship race on Saturday at 2:55 p.m. Brown will be in lane four of the finals and is assured of earning
All-American honors for the second time in the meet and third time in his
career. Brown was fourth in the
55-meter hurdles at the 2007 NCAA Championships.
Brown's other event was the 55-meter dash, which he entered tied
for 13th. He ran a time of 6.44 seconds, but finished fifth in his heat and
10th overall, failing to advance to the finals.
Greyhound senior jumper/sprinter
Ozzie Brown earned All-America
honors for the second time in two days and the third time in his career as he
finished third in the 55-meter high hurdles in a time of 7.51 seconds at the
2008 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field National Championships hosted
by Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio.
Jonathan Garcia of UMass-Dartmouth won the race in 7.46 while Jon Schellin of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater was
second in 7.49 seconds.
With Brown’s six points for his third place finish and the ten points
from his national championship in the long jump on Friday, Moravian finished
sixth in the team scoring with 16 points. A total of 66 schools earned points
with the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse winning the
team title with 43 points. Brown
was fourth in the 55-meter high hurdles a year ago to earn his first
