Brown Places 45th in World Athletics Indoor Championships 60 Hurdles

KUJAWY POMORZE, POLAND – CUSA men's 60 hurdles champion Tahj Brown wrapped up his freshman season on a big stage. Representing the Bahamas at the 2026 World Athletics Indoor Championships for the first time on Saturday, Brown placed 45^thoverall in the heats of the men's 60 hurdles.

Brown clocked a time of 8.30 to place eighth in his heat and 45^th in the event. It took a time of 7.70 or faster to guarantee qualification to the semifinal round.

Brown excelled during his first indoor season in a Liberty uniform, claiming the CUSA men's 60 hurdles title on Feb. 28 in a Liberty freshman-record time of 7.70. That effort just missed the CUSA meet record of 7.69 and marked the fifth time Brown had lowered the Flames' freshman standard in 2026.

Brown's 7.70 effort tied him for No. 31 nationally this season, including third among freshmen. He also ranks No. 2 behind All-American Jovaine Atkinson on the Flames' all-time 60 hurdles chart.

Brown will now turn his attention to the outdoor 110 hurdles, where he was a World Athletics U20 Championships qualifier in 2024 and owns a personal best of 13.74 over the junior height.
