Jamir Brown, who ran the fastest indoor hurdles race in NCAA Division 3 history in December, is now the fastest outdoor hurdler in Division 3 history.
Brown, a Rowan freshman from Riverside, ran a wind-legal 13.60 in the 110-meter hurdles trials on Day 1 of the New Jersey Athletic Conference Championships at The College of New Jersey in Ewing Saturday.
That broke the D-3 record of 13.72 set in 2021 by Taylor Rooney of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Paul, Minn., at the 2021 NCAA Division 3 Championships in Greensboro, N.C.
Brown’s previous PR was a 13.79 two weeks ago in Atlanta. The wind reading was +1.2 on his record-setting race.
Indoors, Brown ran 7.72 at Ocean Breeze, breaking the Division 3 record 7.75 set by Salisbury’s Luke Campbell in 2014 in Lincoln, Neb.
Brown’s time is fastest by any college freshman this year, including all divisions. Previous fastest was a 13.66 by Matthew Sullivan of Hinds Community College in Raymond, Miss., at a meet last month in Ruston, La.
His time is No. 25 among all U.S. men this year and 7th-fastest ever run by a South Jersey native. It’s 2nd-fastest ever by a Burlington County hurdler behind Willingboro’s Isaac Williams, who ran 13.43 at the 2016 Mt. SAC Relays in Norwalk, Calif.
Rowan had the four-fastest hurdles qualifiers for Saturday’s final. Junior Jason Agyemang ran 13.77, which would have been 3rd-fastest in D-3 history if it wasn’t wind-aided (and is 5th-fastest in any conditions), and junior Kwaku Nkrumah ran 14.17. Willingboro’s Anaias Williams tied his PR with a 14.29 with legal wind.
Brown, Agyemang, Nkrumah and Williams are currently No. 1, No. 2, No. 5 and No. 11 in NCAA Division 3 this year.
