ORLANDO, Fla. – Courtney Okolo had one of the best seasons in Texas Track & Field history in 2016, and on Friday night she was honored with her sport's most prestigious collegiate award, winning The Bowerman at the USTFCCCA Convention.
Okolo was one of three finalists for "the Heisman Trophy" of track and field for the second time in her career and came away with the 35-pound trophy this time after her stellar performances for the Longhorns this season.
