Britton Wilson third Razorback women’s finalist for The Bowerman

NEW ORLEANS – Arkansas junior Britton Wilson is one of three women finalists selected for The Bowerman, as announced by USTFCCCA on Monday. Wilson becomes the third Razorback female to be a finalist for the annual award.

The Bowerman, which debuted in 2009, is presented annually by the USTFCCCA to the most outstanding male and female NCAA track & field athletes in the nation. Also named as a women’s finalist were sprinter Julien Alfred of Texas and jumper Jasmine Moore of Florida.

“What a great honor,” stated Arkansas women’s head coach Lance Harter. “And an honor for both Britton and Ackera Nugent to be in the hunt as one of the top 10 semifinalists.

“Britton, we knew, had a strong case to be a finalist. It’s so rewarding that she has been selected and will be honored in December at the convention. It’s not only a great tribute to Britton, herself, but also to our women’s track program and the University as a whole.”

Previous Arkansas finalists for the women’s Bowerman included pole vaulter Tina Šutej (2011) and sprinter/hurdler Janeek Brown (2019). Texas A&M’s Jessica Beard won in 2011 while Sha’Carri Richardson of LSU won in 2019.
