Senior Michael Brown (Norristown, Pa,/Norristown HS) ran to first place finishes in both the 60-meter and 200-meter dash events as the Lincoln University men's track and field team opened their season last Saturday at the Bow-Tie Classic at Ursinus College.  In the process of winning these two events, Brown's times also qualified him for the ECAC/IC4A Indoor Championships to be held in Boston, Massachusetts on March 4-5, 2017.
 
Brown ran the 60-meter dash in 6.97 seconds, surpassing the ECAC/IC4A qualifying standard of 6.98 seconds, becoming the first Lincoln men's runner in the school's NCAA era to qualify in the 60-meter event.  He was one of two Division II athletes to meet the qualifying standard in the first week of the 2016-17 season.
