2017 Bowerman Award Rankings
Men's Bowerman Award Rankings
MEN’S NOTES:
- Clive Pullen should be in the top 10. The Bowerman voters have him as receiving votes, however after winning the triple jump and jumping a top-10 all-time mark that should be worth a spot on the watch list.
- Josh Kerr and Trey Culver should have at least gotten honorable mention votes. Kerr beat the collegiate record holder Edward Cheserek and Trey Culver won back to back indoor titles.
