THE BOWERMAN
The Bowerman, collegiate track and field’s highest honor, is bestowed each year to the top male and female athlete in NCAA and NAIA track and field. Bill Bowerman, the award’s namesake, was a track and field coaching legend at the University of Oregon from 1949-72, went on to coach the 1972 Olympic Team and led the formation of the United States Track and Field Federation.
Votes are compiled by members of The Bowerman Advisory Board, a group of national and regional media members, track and field statisticians, NCAA administrators, past winners and Presidents of affiliated organizations. Voters produce a Top-10 list of the “who’s who” in collegiate track and field.
The next voting update will be released on April 17.
