A two-time individual Southland Conference champion who was part of four conference team championships, Natchitoches native Madison Brown will be honored as the Exchange Bank and Trust Demon Great of the Game during Thursday’s 6:30 p.m. football season finale against Stephen F. Austin at Turpin Stadium.
A Natchitoches Central product, Brown was named the 2025 Southland Conference Indoor Track and Field Female Student-Athlete of the Year after capturing the gold medal in the pole vault at the conference indoor championships, helping Northwestern capture its second straight team indoor title.
The victory served as Brown’s second individual conference title, joining her 2023 SLC Outdoor championship where she cleared a then-personal best 12-7.5 on her final attempt.
As a junior, Brown reached the NCAA East Regionals in the pole vault after finishing third at the Southland Conference Outdoor Championships. A versatile athlete, Brown also competed in the 60-meter hurdles, the 60-meter dash and the 4×100 relay during her Northwestern career.
In addition to her individual championships, Brown was a three-time Southland Conference Academic All-Conference selection.
