Endwell’s Brenon Signs with Houghton
(Houghton,
N.Y.)—Houghton College has signed Danielle Brenon, a four-time
all-conference and all-district selection in both track and
field and cross country at Maine-Endwell High School in Endwell,
N.Y., to a letter of intent to run for the Highlanders next
year.
“Her high school coach used nothing but superlatives to
describe Danielle as a person, student and athlete,” said Bob
Smalley, head coach of both the Highlander cross country and
track and field teams, “I have every reason to believe that her
coach was right. Danielle should have an illustrious career as a
Houghton College distance runner.”
Brenon was an individual qualifier for the state cross
country meet all four years of her high school career, and she
qualified for the state meet at 800M in track, too. The
Maine-Endwell cross country team won the Section IV title twice
during her high school years.
“She will be an immediate impact runner for us,” said
Smalley, “My expectation is that she will be in our women’s
cross country team’s top five.”
Smalley also expects great things from Brenon during
track and field season. “In high school she was a key member of
an outstanding 4 X 800 relay team,” he said, “She will most
likely become a key member of our collegiate 4 X 800 team, which
looks to be the best in Houghton College history.”
Brenon, who earned honors as a WBNG-TV Southern Tier
Academic All-Star her senior year, intends to major in
communications and political science at Houghton. She is the
daughter of James and Theresa Brenon of Endwell and the sister
of Amanda Brenon, who will be a senior on the Highlanders’ field
hockey team this fall.
