University of Arkansas sophomore Jaydon Hibbert, who will be 18 years old for another month, won The Bowerman for the top men s collegiate track and field athlete for 2023.
Alfred was named the winner of The Bowerman, the highest honor in collegiate track and field akin to football's Heisman Trophy. Alfred had one of the best years in both indoor and outdoor track in NCAA history en route to claiming the award. She's the second Texas woman to win the award and the first since Courtney Okolo did it in 2016, and the St. Lucia native is the first international woman to win the award.
Since The Bowerman was first presented to the top collegiate male and female track and field athletes in 2009, no school has won both awards in the same year.
Arkansas has a pair of finalists in freshman Jaydon Hibbert and junior Britton Wilson for The Bowerman Presentation that will be held on the evening of Thursday, Dec. 14, during the USTFCCCA convention.
