NEW ORLEANS – The USTFCCCA announced today its Post-Conference Championships Men's Watch List for The Bowerman Trophy, with Oklahoma State thrower Nick Miller receiving votes on the list for collegiate track and field's highest individual honor.
Miller, fresh off a record-setting performance in winning his third consecutive Big 12 hammer throw title, is one of the best hammer throwers in the world. His toss of 74.38m/244-0 at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships was not only a personal best for Miller, but was also an OSU record, a Big 12 meet and overall conference record, a Fuller Track stadium record and the No. 1 throw in the NCAA this season. That distance also ranks among the top-25 hammer throw marks in the world this year.
The Carlisle, United Kingdom, native also had an impressive indoor season, winning a conference title and finishing as the NCAA runner-up in the weight throw.
The Bowerman Trophy, which was first awarded in 2009, is presented annually by the USTFCCCA to the most outstanding male and female collegiate track & field athletes in the nation.
