Ex-Iowa Hawkeye Brittany Brown wins bronze medal in women’s 200m at 2024 Olympics
Former Iowa Hawkeye sprinter Brittany Brown is an Olympic medalist.
With a time of 22.20 seconds in the women’s 200-meter final, Brown placed third to earn a bronze medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
She is the first woman from Iowa’s program to earn an individual Olympic medal in track and field, according to Iowa Athletics.

The 29-year-old sprinter was one of two USA runners to medal, with Gabrielle Thomas winning gold with a time of 21.83.
Brown, a Southern California native, qualified for the Games after placing second in the women’s 200 during the U.S. Olympic Trials on June 29, running a personal-best time of 21.90.
She then won both of her pre-final Olympic heats with times of 22.38 and 22.12.
Her success this summer comes after a slew of injuries and setbacks over the past two years. A sports hernia led to osteitis pubis, which limits productivity from the hips, pelvis and groin area. A labrum tear in Brown’s hip caused so much pain that she required numerous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections spread across several months.
Her last one came roughly three months before qualifying for the Olympics.
“How I got here was with a lot of resilience,” Brown told the Register in July. “I wasn’t like a child prodigy or this coach saw me (early on) and knew I was going to be great. A lot of just picking myself up every time a setback has happened or anything hasn’t been the easiest.”
Brown is Iowa’s 26th track Olympian and first since Kineke Alexander, Troy Doris and Diane Nukuri-Johnson qualified for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, according to Iowa Athletics.
During her Iowa career, Brown become an 11-time all-American with school records in the 100 and 200 meters.

DES Moines, Iowa — Gov. Kim Reynolds has ordered all flags in Iowa to be lowered to half-staff Saturday in honor of state Sen. Julian Garrett, who died June 8 at the age of 85.
Flags will be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset June 20, the day of Garrett’s funeral, on the Iowa Capitol Building and across the Capitol Complex. The order also applies to all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state.
Garrett served 16 years in the Iowa Legislature, first representing House District 55 from 2011 to 2013 before serving in the Iowa Senate through the 2026 legislative session.
In addition to his legislative service, Garrett was a farmer, attorney and former employee of the Iowa Attorney General’s Office.
“Sen. Garrett was a friend who served our state with integrity — whether as a cattle producer, a Little League coach, an attorney in the executive branch, or a legislator,” Reynolds said in a statement. “For 15 years, we worked together to unleash opportunities for the Iowans we served, and his impact will be felt for generations to come.”
Reynolds is encouraging individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties and other government entities to lower their flags to half-staff during the same time period as a sign of respect.
Garrett represented southwest Iowa in the Legislature and was known for his work on judiciary and agriculture-related issues during his tenure at the Statehouse.
