Fan voting is now open for The Bowerman, the award given the the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches' Association to the best male and female collegiate track & field athlete in the USA.

Fans may vote for the three men's finalists--Jeshua Anderson of Washington State, Ngoni Makusha of Florida State, and Christian Taylor of Florida; and the three women's finalists--Jessica Beard of Texas A&M, Kimberlyn Duncan of LSU, and Tina Šutej of Arkansas--by clicking here to take you to thebowerman.org.

You can also read a summary of what each of these athletes did during the 2011 indoor and outdoor track & field seasons on that site, along with the rules and guidelines on how the voting is tabulated.

Fan voting for The Bowerman ends August 16th.  The Bowerman will be presented by the USTFCCCA on December 14 at the JW Marriott Hill Country, San Antonio, Texas. John Anderson, ESPN SportsCenter anchor and co-host of ABC’s Wipeout, will host the evening’s festivities for the second-straight year.
