Northwest Christian's Sierra Brown has been named the CCC 2015-16 Red Lion Female Athlete of the Year.
Brown, a junior from Medford, Ore., was a three-time All-American during the year. In the fall, she won the CCC Individual Championship and was named CCC Runner of the Year as she led the Beacons to the Women's Cross Country Championship. At Nationals, she finished fourth individually to help give NCU their first-ever NAIA National Championship.
Brown had a record-setting track season as well, earning All-CCC honors in both the 1500m and the 5000m and following that up with NAIA All-American honors at both disciplines as well.
She was 7th in the 1500m and 5th in the 5000m, scoring 6 points for the Beacons who finished in 11th-place for their highest finish in school history.
