Run for Dylan: Denton Guyer's Brynn Brown sets a new state record with a gold medal in the 3,200-meter race
A clear favorite from the start, Denton Guyer's Brynn Brown was running for something bigger than herself— bigger than a state title— on Saturday. Brown was running for fallen teammate Dylan Dorrell who died in August from heart issues after a cross country workout with the team. With a motivating motto of "Run for Dylan" all season, Brown was able to push herself throughout the race.
Breaking her own state-meet record of 10:09.91, the North Carolina signee set a new state record in the UIL Class 6A 3,200-meter race with an incredible time of 9:58.77. The senior came up just about ten seconds short of the national record of 9:47.88 set by Katelyn Tuohy in 2018.

With her gold medal on Saturday, Brown will head into college with four state titles under her belt. Brown has two gold medals in the 3,200-meter race, one in the 1,600-meter race, and one in cross country.
