Andrew Brown back in action, makes a statement

Tupelo runner Andrew Brown made his return in a Golden Wave uniform Saturday morning, and he picked up right from where he left off.

Brown finished first in the Brooks High School Tennessee River Classic with a time of 15 minutes, 33 seconds, setting a course record in the process. The sophomore made headlines last spring for being ineligible to compete for Tupelo’s track-and-field team stemming from when he participated in a national, out-of-state indoor meet as an unattached runner.
