Cheyanne Brown of York, Pa., is one of more than 200 student-athletes who competed for the Flying Dutchmen during the 2017 spring sports season. Brown, a graduate of William Penn High School, is pursuing a bachelor of arts in global studies and sociology at The Valley.

Brown was a member of the Women's outdoor track and field and softball team. Women's outdoor track & field finished off its most recent campaign with a fourth-place team finish at the MAC Championships this spring. The team was paced by Olivia Jendrzejewski and Lauren Decker; both athletes earned berths to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in May after being named USTFCCCA All-Region. Jendrzejewski was named the MAC Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year after winning a conference title in the triple jump, while Decker won a MAC Title in the 400m. Both athletes were named CoSIDA Academic All-District and Jendrzejewski earned MAC Outdoor Track & Field Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year recognition. Teanna Shutt, Sarah Grow, and Kate Mowrey joined Decker as MAC gold-medal winners in the 4x800m relay, and 14 student-athletes earned all-conference accolades. Softball won 25 games this season and finished two runs shy of winning a MAC Commonwealth Championship after an outstanding postseason run. The team was led by all-conference first-team honorees Sammy Bost, Maddie Abbot, and Lexi Windsor. All three were named ECAC South All-Stars, while Bost and Windsor were pegged all-region. Annie McClain and Savannah Toth joined the trio as MAC Commonwealth All-Conference players. Bost became the first student-athlete in school history to earn three CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-America honors and she was also named the MAC Softball Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Brown was named to the All-MAC Outdoor Second Team for the 200m dash.
