Brittany Brown is an Olympic medalist.

The 2013 Claremont High School graduate finished third in the women’s 200 meter finals Tuesday at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games, at 22.20.

Brown’s USA teammate and 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Gabrielle Thomas won gold with a time of 21.83, with Julien Alfred from Saint Lucia winning silver at 22.08.

It was the 29-year-old Brown’s first Olympic appearance.

An alumna of the University of Iowa, Brown is the school’s 26th Olympian and the first since Kineke Alexander, Troy Doris and Diane Nukuri-Johnson qualified for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Brown was an eight-time All-American as a Hawkeye, a 2018 indoor and outdoor Big Ten Champion in the women’s 200-meter events, and school record holder in the women’s outdoor 100-meter dash, at 11.28, and 200-meter race, at 22.30.

Brown set Claremont High School’s girls 100- and 200-meter records at 11.49 and 23.68, respectively, at the 2013 CIF-Southern Section Division II finals at Cerritos College, and was the CIF-State runner up in both events. She also won the 17 and 18-year-old division 100-meter race at the 2013 USATF National Junior Olympics at 11.61.
