Wildwood High School’s Kendall Brown Commits to University of Florida for Track & Field
Kendall Brown is an athlete. She is one of the best put together runners who have ever come through the Wildwood Middle High School Program. All season long she has been one of the Wildcats best Triple Jump and Long Jump athletes. And she may be one of the best the school has ever seen.
Brown recently during an April 21st meet at the FHSAA 1A District 7 track & field meet was able to put down a 5.28m in the Long Jump and an 11.50M in the Triple Jump.
Both of those leaps were district winners as Kendall would take first place. That dominance is continuing as Track & Field Regionals and State’s are coming up.
One thing is for certain, anything that the Brown family does, they do it well. Florida is getting a stellar athlete with Kendall Brown. She’s been SEC material for a while now. She gets to take her talents and extend her academic and athletic career at the always wonderful UF campus.
Brown also just won a flag football district championship with Wildwood a few weeks ago so Kendall is having a terrific end to the season. We want to congratulate the Brown family on this incredible accomplishment. We look forward to seeing all the amazing things that Kendall will do in the coming years!
