He recalled that he regularly beat Danny Harris of Perris High in the 300-meter low hurdles. Harris went on to earn a silver medal in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1984 Olympic Games.
Brown's hurdling career took a detour in 1983 when he tore ligaments in his left knee, requiring surgery. A football-related injury to his right knee forced him to red-shirt in 1984.[4]
