Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-3, 190-pound junior led the Patriots to a second straight Class AA team state title this past season. Brison won the 100- and 200-meter dash, and he served as the anchor for Lincoln's winning 4x100-meter and 4x-200-meter relay quartets. Brison clocked the fastest times across all classifications in both the 100 and 200 at the state meet.
