Freshman Star Shines at First State Indoor Championships
---
Running his first full indoor season in Ohio as a freshman, Wayne High School freshman Jamier Averette-Brown has made quite the impression, one that culminated in his first OATCCC State Indoor title in the 60m with a time of 6.75.
Averette-Brown's time of 6.75 was historic for many reasons for Ohio. First, it is a top-ten 60m dash time of all-time in Ohio, ranking tied for 8th all-time. Secondly, it was not only a freshmen class record in Ohio, but also an underclassmen record. Lastly, it lowers his class of 2027 60m dash lead in the country to almost a quarter of a second.
