Jamaican Olympian Veronica Campbell Brown said the city of Arkansas feels like home after being inducted into 2020 class at the 62nd Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame at the Statehouse Convention Centre on Friday night.
Campbell-Brown, 37, graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2006 with a degree in marketing.
“It feels like home. Just being here in the city and contributed so much to the athletics programme and graduated from the University of Arkansas, so it feels like home,” said the three-time Olympic gold medallist.
She would later post on her Facebook page that it was an honour to be recognized by the city.
“I am honoured to be inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, and to join so many great inductees whose achievements and contributions brought honour, fame and prestige to the state of Arkansas,” she said.
