The start to the 2023 indoor track and field season has been a memorable one for Hutchinson Community College sophomore Dimetre Browne.

Opening the season at the Washburn University Rust Buster on Saturday, Browne broke the meet record in the long jump. After that performance, Browne was named the NJCAA Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week.

The Gibbons, Saint Kitts native was named the Jayhawk Conference men's Field Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.

Browne won the Washburn Rust Buster men's long jump with a career-best jump of 24 feet, 3.85 inches (7.41m). That meet-record jump won by a whopping 2.75 inches.

Browne qualified for the 2023 NJCAA Indoor Championships and posted the fourth-best indoor men's long jump in Blue Dragon history.

Browne is the first Blue Dragon to win NJCAA national weekly honors since Andrew Kibet in 2019.
