"At the CN trials, Brown smashed his 200m breaststroke record,
a mark he has been trying to lower since the 2005 World Championships
in Montreal. At the 2007 World Championships in Melbourne, Brown
was a 7th place finalist in the 200 m breast.
In 2006, Brown was a gold medalist at the Commonwealth Games in
Melbourne Australia in his signature event, the 200m breaststroke.
Mike swam the event with a spectacular time of 2:12.23. At the same
Commonwealth games, Mike came in 7th in the 100 breaststroke with
a time of 1:02.27. In the 400 medley relay, he did what he does
best by swimming the breaststroke leg with a time of 1:01.32 contributing
to his team’s 4th place finish overall." (Swimming Natation
