That is the Track and Field Heisman and I posted the link to the ceremony in another thread. He just accepted the damn award.

Edit: Explanation is for non-T&F followers. This is the award Mondo was up for but didn’t win in 2019.

How many of you actually follow NCAA Track and Field? Mondo was up in 2019 but was beat out. This is Mr Jumps JaVaughn Harrison. Damn

Chill man. Mondo may be a unique enough mononym but Harrison in the context of an award no one’s ever heard of is less clear

No one? Pretty sure a ton of people know about this award since Sha’Carri Richardson won in 2019 and Kimberlyn Duncan in 2012 on the Women’s side and like I said Mondo was a finalist (runner up) in 2019.

I love how the announcer was like, oh he wasn’t even trying to stretch it out. Bam! High jump, long jump double.

If you actually follow NCAA T&F, you know the answer is very few of us.

It is a great accomplishment. If you have it some context, we’d all be able to cheer for it.

Well, there have been several threads about the Bowerman on here in the past. What I’ve found is you either follow all LSU sports or you don’t. I happen to follow them all. I have always followed football since the 1950’s but I’ve really followed T&F hard since the early 1980’s.
This award started around 2008ish from what I remember because collegiate track and field athletes did not get the recognition they deserved. That’s why people like Xavier Carter did not win something like this in the past.

Anyway, I posted a thread earlier in the day yesterday that has now been whacked on the event and a link to YouTube so you could watch it live.
