Reed Brown has had an impressive season. The junior kicked things off with some early season accomplishments including wins at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival and 2nd place finish at Marcus I. He continued running well right through the champion season, and on to the post season. He was 5th in class 6A at State, then came back to win Nike South just two weeks later. Most recently he finished 14th at NXN earning All-American. He will be putting on the jersey one more time this season to race at Foot Locker, which he qualified for two weekends ago. He ran 15:04 to finish 4th at Foot Locker South and will look to be one of the top guys in the country again this weekend in San Diego. Check out our Q&A with Brown below!
