USC assistant track coach Kevin Brown was named to the Team USA coaching staff for the 2003 Junior Pan American Games and will serve as an assistant coach during the July 18-20 competition in Barbados.

In December 2002, Brown was voted to the Team USA staff by the USATF Coaches Championship Selection Committee, a group that selects national coaching staffs for International competition including the Pan American Games and Goodwill Games.

A three-year assistant for the Gamecocks, Brown’s work at the Junior Pan American Games marks his first International coaching experience and makes him the second USC assistant coach to serve on a Team USA coaching staff.

“Coach Brown earned this distinction through his work on the Athletes Advisory Committee and as an athlete who is still actively competing in the pole vault,” said head coach Curtis Frye. “He fits a lot of the areas that the USATF analyzes in their selection and he will help the team a great deal.”

In addition to Brown, USC is represented at the Junior Pan American games by current athletes Kenneth Ferguson and Tawana Watkins.
