Jamier Brown Sweeps Division II State Sprints and Sets 200m Record

Brown's 20.91 200m and three gold medals cement his standing as an elite recruit, with likely early enrollment at Ohio State in spring 2027.

Overview

  • Brown won three Division II state titles on Sunday, June 7, at the OHSAA meet in Columbus, taking the 100m in 10.42, the 200m in a Division II record 20.91, and anchoring Big Walnut's 4x100 relay to gold in 41.53.
  • The 20.91 is the fastest 200m in Ohio this season and set the Division II state-meet mark, highlighting Brown's elite sprint speed as an Ohio State football commit.
  • Brown's transfer from Huber Heights Wayne to Big Walnut drew eligibility questions earlier in the year, but the OHSAA said he met an exception to compete for a full season.
  • Big Walnut tied for the Division II team championship, claiming the program's first state title, while the school's 4x400 finished 16th and was the only weaker result for the team.
  • Brown has publicly pushed for high-school NIL rights and is expected to graduate early and enroll at Ohio State in the 2027 spring semester, a move that would likely end his high-school track career and shift his focus to college football.
