For the second consecutive year in 2005, Brazell was the runner-up in the mens 110m hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, crossing the line in the new career-best time of 47.67 seconds. Brazell, who broke his own LSU school record by finishing in 48.52 seconds in the semifinals at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, shaved nearly a half-second off that mark in the final when he posted a 48.05 to finish third and make the Olympic Team. Bennie was just unbelievable when you think that his PR (personal record) was 48.80 coming here, said former LSU head coach Pat Henry (now at Texas A&M). Hes one of the finest competitors weve ever had. Brazell turned in another strong performance with his eighth place finish later that summer at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
