With her ebullient personality and ever-present smile, 2013 Claremont High School graduate and Olympic medalist Brittany Brown really knows how to connect with the community that helped set her on her path. Brown, who came home from the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games with a bronze medal in the 200 meters, was honored by the city with a parade and rally on Wednesday. The charismatic athlete was a selfie magnet, taking the time to meet, greet and pose for photos with dozens of admirers. As the parade terminated at Claremont High School, she was mobbed by hundreds of adoring fans, including the CHS marching band and CUSD leadership.
