Brown joined the Lobos’ coaching staff in the summer of 2023. He coaches UNM’s pole vaulters.
A UNM alum who competed for the Lobos during the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, Brown’s 5.20m (17’0.75″) personal best in the pole vault in 2021 ranks No. 6 on the outdoor UNM all-time list — that season, he placed fourth at MW Indoor Championships.
In their first indoor meet of the 2023-24 season, three UNM pole vaulters notched PR’s, with Maja Gebauer’s 4.10m (3’5.25″) mark ranking No. 2 on the UNM women’s indoor all-time list. At the UNM Team Open on Jan. 26, Kiara Quezada-Arzate cleared 4.00m (13’1.5″) for a new personal best — the first time since 2014 that two UNM women’s vaulters have joined the 4.00m club in the same season. UNM’s women’s pole vault squad ranked No. 13 in the nation in that season’s initial USTFCCCA #EventSquad rankings.
