Temitop Adeshina Reaches Bowerman Award Semifinals
Temitop Adeshina has been named a semifinalist for the Bowerman Award, the highest individual honor in U.S. collegiate track and field, as announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) on Wednesday.
Adeshina is one of ten female athletes recognized for their exceptional performances, joining notable athletes such as Jane Hedengren from BYU and Adaejah Hodg from Georgia. Throughout the season, Adeshina maintained an undefeated record, winning NCAA indoor and outdoor championship titles.
She successfully defended her NCAA indoor crown in March, clearing a season-best height of 1.97m, which placed her joint fifth on the collegiate indoor list. During the outdoor season, she recorded a best clearance of 1.96m to win the NCAA outdoor title.
Her achievements have solidified her status as a consistent jumper in NCAA history. The finalists for the Bowerman Award will be announced on June 29, with the winner to be crowned in December during the USTFCCCA convention in Grapevine, Texas.
