2015 Women’s Bowerman Trophy Finalists Announced - The BowermanPublished by
NEW ORLEANS – Hurdler Kendra Harrison of Kentucky, pole vaulter Demi Payne of Stephen F. Austin, and sprinter/jumper Jenna Prandini of Oregon were announced Thursday as Finalists for The Bowerman Trophy, collegiate track & field’s highest individual honor. Based on their outstanding achievements during both the indoor and outdoor collegiate track & field seasons in 2014-15, these three women were selected to travel to San Antonio, Texas, for the awarding of The Bowerman Trophy on December 17 in a live-streamed award show as part of the USTFCCCA Convention at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa. The announcement from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) and the Bowerman Advisory Board was made Thursday afternoon via webstream. The video can be watched in its entirety below. One among them ultimately will join the ranks of The Bowerman Winners alongside a number of the world’s best track & field athletes. Among them are Jenny (Barringer) Simpson – a world champion at 1500 meters and American Record holder in the 3000-meter steeplechase – and Brianna Rollins, already an American Record holder and World Champion in the 100-meter hurdles as part of her Bowerman-winning 2013 season. Joining that exclusive club of Bowerman Trophy winners will not be an easy task, as this year’s trio of finalists combined for five NCAA titles, several more top-five national finishes and more than a dozen all-time great collegiate performances. Harrison won a pair of NCAA titles this year in the indoor 60-meter hurdles and the outdoor 100-meter hurdles, and finished runner-up outdoors in the 400-meter hurdles. Her winning time of 7.87 indoors moved her to No. 3 on the all-time college performers list, and her 54.09 effort in the 400H is the fifth-fastest time ever by a collegian. En route to winning the SEC title in the 100H, she ran 12.50 for the No. 3 spot on the all-time collegiate performers list in that event. That SEC title was part of a 4-0 season in the 100H outdoors, to go along with a 2-0 record in the 60H indoors. Payne owns the indoor collegiate pole vault record and won the NCAA outdoor title over rival Sandi Morris (the outdoor college record holder and indoor national champion). She broke the indoor college record three times in the span of a week, clearing 15-7 (4.75m) at the Lobo Invitational to top the record of 15-3 (4.65m) she set on her previous jump. She broke the outdoor record twice – including a clearance of 15-5½ (4.71m) at the Southland Conference Championships – before it was rebroken by Morris. Payne got the final word, however, clearing 15-5 (4.70m) to best Morris at NCAAs by five centimeters. In total, she owns five of the seven best clearances in collegiate indoor history and seven of the top 11 in outdoor history. Prandini was the most prolific NCAA Championships point-scorer of the 2015 season, racking up a total of 49 between the indoor and outdoor NCAA Championships. Indoors she won the long jump, was runner-up at 200 meters and fourth at 60 meters for 23 points. Outdoors she won at 100 meters, and was runner-up both at 200 meters and in the long jump for 26 more. Her outdoor season was especially historic. She became the second-fastest woman in collegiate history at 100 meters (10.92), the fourth-fastest at 200 meters (22.21) and just missed the top-10 list in the long jump (22-3¾/6.80m). Now in the seventh year of The Bowerman Trophy, there are plenty of “firsts” that could be achieved any one of these three women. – Harrison and Payne are first-time Finalists for their schools – regardless of gender. – Prandini will look to succeed former Oregon teammate Laura Roesler as the winner of the Bowerman Trophy. No school has ever won back-to-back women’s Bowerman Trophies. – None of the six previous female Bowerman winners claimed NCAA titles in field events en route to hoisting their trophies. This year’s class of Finalists includes two women with NCAA titles in field events: Payne won the outdoor pole vault and Prandini took the indoor long jump. – Payne would be the first field event specialist to win the women’s Bowerman Trophy. She would join 2013 men’s winner Derek Drouin as the lone field event winners. Voting to determine both the women’s trophy and men’s trophy – the finalists for which were announced on Wednesday to be Shawn Barber of Akron, Edward Cheserek of Oregon, and Marquis Dendy of Florida – will commence July 27 and conclude August 11. Fan voting will take place simultaneously on TheBowerman.org. The results will collectively count as one ballot alongside those cast by media members, statisticians, USTFCCCA member coaches and other experts from around the nation. Finalists were chosen by The Bowerman Advisory Board, a ten-person panel of track & field experts from around the country, based on performances recorded during the 2014 indoor and outdoor track & field seasons. Only performances through the conclusion of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships are eligible for consideration.
WINNER SELECTION PROCESSThe Bowerman Voters will receive ballots listing each of the finalists and must rank them by first, second and third choice. First-place votes will receive three points, second place will notch two, and third will receive one point. The finalist with the highest point total will be declared the winner. The Bowerman Voters consist of:
Paper balloting will conclude in the coming weeks while online voting will begin on Monday, July 27 and will last until Tuesday, August 11. An independent accounting firm will collect, tabulate, and certify final results and will keep the result secret until the envelope is opened December 17 at The Bowerman Trophy Award Show.
