Career

In Japan, Sani Brown ran for Josai High School, a private high school operated by the same corporation that operates Josai University[4] in the Toshima ward of Tokyo.[5] and qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Summer Games running 100 in 9.99 seconds on 12 May 2019.

Sani Brown finished as runner up at the 2015 Japanese senior National Championships in both the 100m and the 200m, but did not run a qualifying time for the world championships in either event. At the 2015 World Youth Championships in Athletics Sani Brown equalled his personal best of 10.30 in the 100m heats to set a new championship record before running 10.28 into a −0.3 headwind to improve that mark in the final. Three days later he doubled by winning the 200 metres in 20.34 into a −0.7 headwind. The time was .16 faster than the championship qualifying standard, thereby punching Sani Brown's ticket to the world championships[6] as a sixteen year old.

At the 2015 World Championships Sani Brown qualified for the semi-final round against athletes who were at least three years his senior.

In 2016, he committed to the University of Florida.[7] In the 2019 NCAA championships he set the Japanese record at 9.97s.

gollark: ... Sorry, m5, right?
gollark: And on 4.5W it won't really work well.
gollark: 2.9GHz is hardly great either.
gollark: Ah, yes, mati's is basically that but with a slightly higher clock rate and older architecture.
