Baylor freshman sprinter Trayvon Bromell has been named to the 10-member, post-conference championships watch list for the Bowerman Trophy, which is presented annually to the most outstanding men’s and women’s track and field athletes in the country.

Bromell is the first Baylor athlete to earn that distinction.

At last weekend’s Big 12 meet, Bromell ran the third-fastest all-conditions 100-meter race in collegiate history, posting a 9.77 with a 4.2-meter tailwind. He won the Big 12 title and also anchored Baylor’s 4x100 relay crew to gold, and finished eighth in the 200.

Bromell is one of only two freshmen on the watch list, joining Oregon’s Edward Cheserek. The award began in 2009, and is presented by the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
