With 12 Days Until the 2013 Bowerman, Take a Look Back at 2012 - The BowermanPublished by
With 12 Days Until the 2013 Bowerman, Take a Look Back at 2012December 7, 2013 NEW ORLEANS – We’re just inside 12 days before The Bowerman Trophy will awarded to 2013′s most outstanding male and female collegiate track & field student-athletes on December 18 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla., during the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Convention. But before you watch the presentation and the preceding Red Carpet Show live on Flotrack.org on December 18 at 6:30 p.m. ET, we’ll be counting down the days with looks back at past The Bowerman presentations, facts about this year’s finalists and more. With just less than 12 days left, it’s only fitting that the countdown to this year’s presentation begins with a look back at the 2012 presentation. LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan won the women’s award in her second consecutive year as a finalist, while the men’s award went to Southern Utah’s Cam Levins. To set the stage for the 2013 presentation, the full rebroadcast of the 2012 The Bowerman Trophy presentation can be viewed below courtesy of Flotrack.org — where the 2013 stream will be carried live as it happens in less than 12 days.
Among those who Duncan defeated for the prestigous award was Arizona high jumper Brigetta Barrett, who is again a finalist in 2013. Joining Barrett as 2013 The Bowerman hopefuls are hurdlers Kori Carter of Stanford and Brianna Rollins of Clemson. On the men’s side Indiana high jumper Derek Drouin, Arizona distance runner Lawi Lalang and UCLA discus thrower Julian Wruck are the finalists vying for the 2013 men’s trophy. THE BOWERMAN FINALISTS, 2013 WOMENBrigetta Barrett, Arizona
Barrett claimed the NCAA Division I high jump crown at both the indoor and outdoor championships, placing capstones on a season that saw her go undefeated against collegians in ten competitions en route to a new collegiate record. Her winning jump of 6-6¼ (1.99m) at the Pac-12 Championships broke the previous outdoor collegiate record of 6-6 (1.98m) held by Amy Acuff of UCLA and Kajsa Bergqvist of SMU. She also toppled Acuff’s dual meet record by a centimeter with a leap of 6-4¼ (1.94m) at the Arizona-Arizona State-Northern Arizona tri-meet.
Kori Carter, Stanford
Carter became a hurdling force to be reckoned with not only at the collegiate level but also on the world stage during her 2013 outdoor campaign, winning an NCAA Division I title in the 400 hurdles in a collegiate-record 53.21 and finishing runner-up nationally in the 100 hurdles in 12.79 — both against some of the best competition the world has to offer. She defeated 2012 Olympic finalist Georganne Moline of Arizona — who finished fifth in the 400 hurdles in London — in each of their five meetings, including both rounds of the NCAA Finals.
Brianna Rollins, Clemson
Rollins ended her final year at the collegiate ranks the exact same way she started it: with a collegiate record. The Tiger hurdler set the collegiate record in the indoor 60 hurdles in her very first final of the season with a blazing 7.78 and ended her campaign with the 100 hurdles collegiate record outdoors at 12.39 (+1.7m/s) en route to an NCAA Division I title in the event. Her outdoor record came at the expense of the collegiate record of 12.47 (+1.2m/s) she had set two days earlier in the prelims. In total, her season featured five of the ten fastest times in collegiate history in the 60 hurdles; three of the seven fastest 100 hurdles all-conditions time in collegiate history; and an unbeaten streak of 17 races between the two events.
THE BOWERMAN FINALISTS, 2013 MENDerek Drouin, Indiana
It was a banner year for Drouin — the indoor and outdoor USTFCCCA Indoor and Outdoor National Field Athlete of the Year — as he became the first to sweep both the indoor and outdoor NCAA Division I high jump titles in one academic year since he last did so in 2010. The Canadian won at heights of 7-8 (2.34m) or greater and took cracks at collegiate records at both championships. He finished unbeaten in nine collegiate high jump finals between indoors and outdoors, with his only overall loss coming in a tie with fellow The Bowerman semifinalist and rival Erik Kynard of Kansas State at the Nike Prefontaine Classic Diamond League Meeting, where both posted the No. 2 outdoor mark in collegiate history at 7-8¾ (2.36m).
Lawi Lalang, Arizona
Though Lalang did not compete as frequently as the other Finalists due to the nature of his events, he made every race count with four NCAA Division I individual titles — two indoors and two outdoors — two NCAA DI Indoor Championships records, four all-time collegiate top-10 marks indoors in two different events, and a 2013 collegiate-best at 1500 meters, an event he elected not to run at the NCAA DI Outdoor Championships. He swept both the mile and 3000 meter races at the indoor championships and took both the 5000 and 10,000 meter events at the outdoor championships, joining 2009 The Bowerman winner Galen Rupp of Oregon and Suleiman Nyambui of UTEP in 1982 and ’83 as the only male runners to win four individual NCAA DI distance titles in one academic year.
Julian Wruck, UCLA
A national contender and 2011 champion in the discus in his days at Texas Tech prior to his transfer to UCLA, junior Julian Wruck had a breakthrough year in a big way in 2013, re-writing the record books en route to his second NCAA title in the discus. He finished the season not only undefeated but nearly untouchable in eight collegiate events in 2013, registering the top 27 throws by any collegian in 2013. He officially owns four of the top 10 throws in collegiate history and is No. 4 all-time at 217-7 (66.32m), and produced an all-time collegiate best 223-7 (68.16m) mark at an exhibition throws meet among four other throws that would have ranked in the all-time collegiate top-10.
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:
