ELON, N.C. - Elon University women's track and field coach DeAnne Brooks has announced that Chavanne Hubbard (Somerset, N.J./Franklin HS) has signed a National Letter of Intent to run for the Phoenix during the 2005-06 school year.

Hubbard, who runs the 4x400, the 400 hurdles and the 800, was a participant in the 2005 Millrose Games (4x400) as well as a 2005 Penn Relays qualifier (400 hurdles). In 2005, Hubbard posted New Jersey's fourth-best performance in the 400 hurdles which was also the 14th-best outing in the country. Her performance in the 800 was good enough to rate as the eighth-best in the state and the 20th-best in the nation last year. Her 4x400 team posted the second quickest time in the state with a 3:50.00.

Hubbard was the sectional champion in the 400 hurdles for three consecutive years and was named Franklin High's 2005 Female Athlete of the Year. She was an first team all-area selection in both cross country and track and field.

Chavanne is the daughter of Tony Hubbard.
