TUCSON, Ariz. — Dedicated, humble, determined and a champion.

He’ll talk about academics; we share a love of reading. He’s not just thinking about himself as a working machine,” Brandon's aunt, Lisa Bach said.Off the track, Brandon has managed to maintain a 4.22 GPA.
“After a track meet, he would be coughing in his room for like three days," Brandon's dad William Martz said.
