After former Amsterdam track star Izaiah Brown lost his home to a devastating fire almost a year ago, there were many things that couldn’t be replaced.

But thanks to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association, Izaiah received 11 replacement medals in a ceremony Tuesday morning at the high school.
