The U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced on Monday its women’s finalists for The Bowerman — collegiate track and field’s highest individual honor.
Julien Alfred (Texas Longhorns), Jasmine Moore (Florida Gators) and Britton Wilson (Arkansas Razorbacks) were the three chosen by The Bowerman Advisory Board as the most outstanding athletes in collegiate women’s track and field during the 2023 indoor and outdoor seasons. The trio combined for 10 NCAA titles — eight individual, two relay — plus a share of 12 collegiate records and 33 all-time top-10 performances in the collegiate record books.
Take a look below at what College Sports Wire’s Alex Sinatra had to say about Florida’s finalist.
This season, Moore swept the indoor long jump and triple jump titles at SEC and NCAA championships and set the indoor collegiate records in the long jump and triple jump at NCAA championships.
Moore also swept the SEC outdoor long jump and triple jump during the spring season. Moore won the outdoor triple jump and set an NCAA record. If Moore wins the award, she will be the first woman to win in Florida history.
According to the award’s website, the Bowerman Advisory Board is a panel of track and field experts from around the nation who select finalists based on performances recorded during the 2023 indoor and outdoor track and field seasons. Only performances from December 1, 2022, through the conclusion of the 2023 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Austin, Texas, were eligible for consideration. Voting for The Bowerman closes July 14.
