Former Pine Bush track star earns full ride to Maryland-Eastern Shore

Zavior Brown
Delhi, NY - Former Pine Bush standout Zavior Brown is going to get a taste of home cooking at his next college destination.

Brown, a four-time junior college national champion at SUNY Delhi, has accepted a full scholarship to attend the University of Maryland-Eastern Shore, a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The Hawks are coached by Ernest Barrett, who, like Brown, hails from Jamaica.

"I am excited,'' Barrett said. "He has a lot of talent. ... I feel he will have an immediate impact on our program. He's also a solid kid academically, too. He has the total package.'' Brown won the NJCAA Division III national title in the 3,200-meter relay and the 800-meter run in 2010 and 2011. He is a nine-time NJCAA All-American and competed on Delhi's 2009 and 2010 cross-country national title teams.

Brown set five school records at Delhi, three indoors (500, 600, 800) and two outdoors (3,200 relay, distance medley relay).
