Jason Brown Finishes 6th, Chen Wins U.S. Championship

It was a disappointing night for former Olympian Jason Brown, as the Highland Park-native finished in sixth place in the U.S. Championships in San Jose.

Brown, who won a bronze medal during the Sochi Olympics in 2014, is in serious danger of not making the Olympic team for PyeongChang, which will be announced on Sunday morning.

Brown, who was in third place after the short program, finished with a score of 253.68 after under-rotating several jumps during his free skate on Saturday night.

Tomoki Hiwatashi of Hoffman Estates finished in 12th place for the competition.
