CLEMSON, SC – Former Clemson star Brianna Rollins will attend The Bowerman ceremony held in conjunction with the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) convention Wednesday in Orlando, FL. The ceremony, honoring one male and one female winner of The Bowerman – the highest honor awarded in collegiate track & field – is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes. Arizona’s Brigetta Barrett and Stanford’s Kori Carter are the other female finalists. The Bowerman is the track & field equivalent of college football’s Heisman Trophy, and is named in honor of legendary Oregon coach and innovator Bill Bowerman. ESPN SportsCenter anchor John Anderson is hosting the event, which will be streamed live on Flotrack.org starting with a red carpet show at 6:30 on Wednesday. This is the fifth year The Bowerman has been awarded. Previous female winners are Jenny Barringer of Colorado (2009), Queen Harrison of Virginia Tech (2010), Jessica Beard of Texas A&M (2011) and Kimberlyn Duncan of LSU (2012). Rollins turned professional after a terrific senior season and in a span of two months, set the American record (12.26) in the 100 hurdles and won USA and World Championships in the event as well. She was named the 2013 Jackie Joyner-Kersee recipient for female athlete of the year by USA Track & Field earlier this month. The Bowerman votes, which only consider collegiate accomplishments, have been tabulated and sealed by an independent accounting firm. Below are some of Rollins’ 2013 collegiate accolades and achievements. Rollins’ 2013 Collegiate Accomplishments
