Collegiate Outdoor Athletes Of The Year — Michael Norman & Maggie Ewen

A pair of long hurdlers—Rai Benjamin of USC and Sydney McLaughlin of Kentucky—turned in the top single performances of the collegiate outdoor season with their CRs of 47.02 and 52.75. Each ended up with only honorable mention honors in our selection of Collegiate Outdoor Athletes Of The Year. Narrowly edging out Benjamin and McLaughlin were Michael Norman of USC and Maggie Ewen of Arizona State.

In becoming the first Trojan men’s winner of the honor, Norman not only ran 43.61 at the NCAA, but also produced the fastest collegiate relay split ever, 43.06, at the West Regional.

As for Ewen, Arizona State’s first-ever women’s winner, while she didn’t score her hoped-for NCAA throws triple, she did win both the shot and discus. Earlier in the season she had claimed the CR in the shot (63-10¼/19.46) and hammer (twice: 241-6/73.61 & 244-6/75.43).
