In 1954 Brown scored in both hurdles at the state meet, as Princeton’s team won the Group III state meet again.

In his best season, at the 1955 Group III meet, Brown boosted Princeton to the team title yet again by winning 2 golds and a silver and breaking a state record.  He won both the 120 High Hurdles and 180 Low Hurdles. In the latter, he shaved 7 tenths of a second from the old state record.  His silver medal came in the High Jump.

In both 1953 and 1954, Brown swept both the high and low hurdles at the Mercer County Championships. At the Central Jersey Championships Brown won the high hurdles for 3 consecutive years from 1953-55. He won the CJ low hurdles in ’54 and ’55, and he won the CJ high jump in ’55.

Brown competed collegiately at Winston-Salem in Track and Field.  Among his highlights there was winning the 1960 Penn Relays High Hurdles Championship, the 1957 Penn Relays Championship of America in the Shuttle Hurdles Relay, and leading his college team to the 1960 NAIA Outdoor National Championship. He reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Trials in 1960.
