Brown is one of the most highly decorated athletes in the history of the Cornell women's program. A contributor in almost every one of the middle distance events, as well as a stalwart on the squad's relay teams, she helped the Cornell women achieve two historic feats in 2005. She was a primary cog in helping the program sweep the Indoor and Outdoor Heptagonal Championships during all four of her years on East Hill, while she ran a leg of Cornell's 4x400 relay team that became the first Ivy League team to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the event. She won 13 career Heptagonal titles between the Indoor and Outdoor seasons, while she was an All-Ivy and All-East honoree 15 times each. At the conclusion of her career, Brown held six program records. The perfect embodiment of what it means to be a student-athlete, she was a three-time Academic All-Ivy selection. She also was selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I Team during her junior and senior seasons, earning ESPN The Magazine Third Team Academic All-America accolades during her senior season. Her Heps titles include: four-time outdoor 4x100 relay champion (2002-05), four-time outdoor 4x400 relay champion (2002-05), two-time indoor 4x400 relay champion (2003-04), and three-time outdoor 400 meter hurdle champion (2003-05). She still holds the program record in the 400 meter hurdles with a time of 57.87.
