On the first day of the NCAA Indoor Championships, track & field star Alexis Brown made history, soaring to a 22-7.75 mark, becoming the first Baylor athlete to win a national championship in the long jump event. 👏

Brown is the first athlete since 2021 to bring home a national championship trophy in an indoor competition. The graduate's 22-7.75 mark is tied for fourth in DI Indoor meet history and tied for seventh in all-time collegiate history. Brown broke her own Baylor program record twice, one with her first jump and then sealing it with her title-winning mark. Queen. 👑

"It was one of those things where, like Coach Stacey mentioned, my goal all offseason, all year, was to bring home the national title. I think finishing fifth indoors, fifth outdoors, fifth at the Olympic Trials, I was like, 'I'm going to use that as motivation.' And I came out here and did it," said Brown on how special this accomplishment was for her. 🥺
