University of Albany

On September 19, 2022, Venique Brown, née Harris, returned to the University at Albany track & field and cross country program in the role of Director of Operations.  
 
Brown is one of the highest-performing competitors in UAlbany history.  She is one of two members of the women’s program to earn Division I All-America honors after placing sixth in her signature event, the discus, at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Championships.  Further, Brown is the first woman in program history to specifically earn First Team All-America honors in the Division I era.  That same season, 2019, Brown was named Northeast Region Women’s Field Athlete of the Year.  Brown also set the UAlbany program record in the event, recording a personal-best mark of 190-01.00. 
 
Brown earned two graduate degrees from the ENEB Business School, her MBA and her Master’s in Supply Chain Management, in 2021 after earning undergraduate degrees from UAlbany in Economics and Business Administration in 2020.  After exhausting her eligibility, Brown continued her role with UAlbany track & field as a student volunteer assistant coach while she completed her degrees.
