Competing in the US Paralympics Track and Field Championships, Browne stopped the clock in 10.53.
Brown, who endured 13 surgeries before having his leg amputated after a freak accident in 2007, is a former Paralympic 100m silver medalist and a world champion over 100m and 200m.
He beat the German double amputee Johannes Floors record set at the 2019 World Championships.
