The Bowerman

The Bowerman is an annual track and field award that is the highest accolade given to the year's best student-athlete in American collegiate track and field. It is named after Oregon track and field and cross country coach Bill Bowerman and is administered by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).[1]

The winners of the award are announced in a mid-December ceremony held in conjunction with the USTFCCCA annual convention.
