Makusha leads Bowerman voting

Beard were the top earners in online balloting for collegiate track and field’s most coveted award in the United States – The Bowerman.
With nearly 83 000 total fan votes cast since August 1, a record by over three times, the duo earned one first-place vote apiece towards the award’s final vote tally.
The winners of The Bowerman, determined by this fan vote and paper balloting, will be announced in December.
Zimbabwean Makusha earned 42 percent of the votes with 17 562 of the total 41 683 responses on the men’s ballot.
Washington State’s Jeshua Anderson will earn a second-place vote as he carded 30 percent (12 680) of the fan vote while Florida’s Christian Taylor (27 percent, 11 441) will have a third-place vote.
For the first time in the award’s history, all three finalists earned over 10 000 fan votes. In the previous two years, no male had tallied more than 4 000 fan votes. – USTFCCCA.
