LOUGHBOROUGH, England – Colorado State University Pueblo senior runner Helen Braybrook is making the most of her summer at home in England. Competing for her club team, Team Corby, Braybrook delivered a standout performance at Loughborough University in the Loughborough Grand Prix put on by the British Miller's Club, breaking her previous CSU Pueblo school record and setting a new personal best in the women's 800 meters.

Braybrook clocked an impressive 2:02.93 to finish third in the A race, beating every other runner representing an American university. The time marks a new CSU Pueblo record, surpassing the 2:03.67 she ran at the NCAA Division II Outdoor National Championships on her home track in Pueblo, where she finished as the national runner-up. Earlier in the season, Braybrook had set a mark of 2:03.75, which she has now lowered twice within the same campaign.

Although this race was not an NCAA Division II-sanctioned event, the time still counts toward the CSU Pueblo record books as long as the athlete has remaining eligibility—which Braybrook does—allowing her to officially hold the school record.

The 2025 Indoor National Champion in the 800 meters, Braybrook is poised for an even bigger final year with the ThunderWolves in 2025–26, as she aims to break the elusive two-minute barrier and cement herself as one of the best middle-distance athletes in program history.
