FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas could add one more accolade to its historic year on the track Thursday night.
Janeek Brown, who turned pro this summer after a standout sophomore season as a sprinter and hurdler for the Razorbacks, is one of three finalists for the Bowerman Trophy that will be presented in Orlando, Fla. Other female finalists for the award are former Florida jumper Yanis David and former LSU sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson.
The Bowerman, which is named for former Oregon coach Bill Bowerman, has been presented to one male and one female each year since 2009.
Brown is the second Arkansas female to be a finalist for the Bowerman.
