Ithaca College Student-Athlete Brandy Smith Honored

2015 Jun 10

Brandy Smith, a sophomore member of the women's track and field team at Ithaca College, earned Track and Field National Champion and Empire 8 Athlete of the Year for the 2015 season.

Smith opened up the 2015 NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships with a national title performance in the discus on Thursday at the Merrick-Pinkard Track & Field Complex on the campus of St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y..

Smith topped the field with a career-best and stadium record throw of 53.00 meters (173 feet, 11 inches). Her mark was just 2.02 meters shy of the Division III Championship record set back in 1992, and was nearly three meters farther than the runner-up (50.47 meters). She previously held Ithaca's school record with a mark of 48.05 meters which she set earlier this season.
