Brown, who ran a personal best 4:03.20 at this year’s Pre Classic in May, was the third-fastest American over 1500m this season. She finished ninth at the USATF Outdoor Championships in 4:17.01, just under a second shy of fourth place finisher and world championship qualifier Lauren Johnson.

2016 is obviously an Olympic year, and Sarah explains the pregnancy in she and Darren’s blog, The BTeam:

“Hello world, my name is Sarah Brown and I’m pregnant. Wait…what? Pregnant? Did I just say that? The answer is yes, yes I did. If you know me, I am sure your mind is filling with endless questions. One of which is undoubtedly, ‘Why would one of America’s top 1500m runners decide to have a baby leading into arguably the biggest year in a track athlete’s career, an Olympic year?’ Well, the answer is actually quite simple. I didn’t.”
