Cheyenne Brooks signed her letter-of-intent to Florida A&M University Wednesday, becoming the first track & field athlete during head coach Ashley Cochran’s tenure to sign a scholarship to compete at a Division I school.
Brooks, who is currently second in the state in pole vaulting, will attend FAMU this fall on a full scholarship.
“I picked FAMU because it offers what I want in a school athletically, while also giving me an environment that I can be friendly in,” Brooks said. “Everybody there is really accepting and they’re outgoing, which I love about it.”
As far as the track and field program itself, she said she feels she can help the Rattlers become the team to beat in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) next year.
“They went second in their conference last year and I believe that we’re gonna win it next year,” she said enthusiastically. “I’m very excited.”
