AUSTIN, Texas – Senior Courtney Okolo makes her return to the 2016 Bowerman Watch List today. Following a pair of Big 12 Conference Championship meet records last weekend, Okolo was voted back into the list of 10 track and field student-athletes up for the sport's most prestigious award.
Okolo ran a new world-leading time in the 400 meters to leave the field way behind as she clocked in at 51.06 seconds. That time bested the previous Big 12 record of 51.14 held by Texas A&M's Jessica Beard, a former Bowerman winner herself.
