Commerce track standout Brittany Sewell has signed with Shorter College in Rome to join its women’s track program.
Sewell went to state all four years of her high school career, placing each year. She was a four-time region champ in 4x100 competition.
Sewell was a captain for track for two years. Coach Pam Canup said Sewell participated in many different events due to her ability to fill in where she was needed.
“She is a very hard worker in what ever she does,” Canup said. “She will give all she has. She’s a good leader.”
Sewell placed in region and went on to state in the long jump, the triple jump, the 100 meters, the 200 meters and 400 meters, as well as the 4x100 relay all four years of her high school career. She twice went to state in the 4x400.
She’s also done well in the triple jump, with her best performance resulting in a 34’2” mark, and in the long jump, with her best performance being a 15’6” jump.
She’ll be joining a program at Shorter that placed 15th in the NAIA Women’s Track National Championship in Edwardsville, IL, in only its second year of existence. The Lady Hawks also placed second in the Mid-South Conference track championships in Williamsburg, KY.
