Tucson, Ariz. – The University of Arizona Wildcat track and field program has a finalist for The Bowerman for the third-straight year. For senior Lawi Lalang, it is his second-straight year being one of three finalists for the award given to collegiate track and field’s top male and female athletes. Lalang is only the second male to ever be named a finalist more than once. Deon Lendore (Texas A&M, 400-meter sprinter) and Edward Cheserek (Oregon, 5K & 10K) are the other two finalists.

Based on their exceptional achievements during the indoor and outdoor collegiate track & field seasons in 2013-14, the trio made the cut as the three men who will travel to Phoenix, Ariz., for the awarding of The Bowerman Trophy on December 17 as part of the USTFCCCA Convention at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge.
