In the world of Baylor Athletics, the name Alexis Brown is a familiar one.

The Kennedale native has dominated Baylor track and field‘s indoor season, as she won 2024 All-American Indoor honors and 2024 All-Big 12 Indoor because of her prowess in long jump. This past weekend at the Clyde Hart Invitational, which was her first outdoor meet in two years, Brown set a new program record for the long jump, as she recorded a 22-11 mark twice, and won the women’s 100-meter race. Brown is a senior in her second year at Baylor after transferring from Florida in 2022.
