2009 Bowerman Award (Full Archived Show)

The 2009 Bowerman Award was the first ever of its kind in collegiate track and field, awarding the top athlete in the NCAA. The Bowerman Award is the equivalent to football's Heisman Trophy and in its first year, the USTFCCCA put on a great show to highlight and make stars of our athletes. The award was designed by Nike's Vice President of Design, Tinker Hatfield. The inaugural Bowerman Award was presented to Colorado's Jenny Barringer and Oregon's Galen Rupp.
