NEW ORLEANS – Turn back the clock 12 months and “The Year of the Vault” was the craze in 2015 sweeping the college track & field world and, consequently, the women’s Watch List for its most prestigious award, The Bowerman.
Back to real-time, this first month of 2016 showed us that the new year could be a watershed moment in several other events – headlined by a burgeoning, historic rivalry in the combined events.
The first regular-season edition of the women’s Watch List for The Bowerman reflected that accordingly.
