STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford's Mackenzie Little and Grant Fisher were named to the watch list for The Bowerman, collegiate track and field's highest annual honor.
The lists are 10 deep for each of the men's and women's awards. Little and Fisher hope to become Stanford's first finalists since Kori Carter in the women's division in 2013.
Little, a senior human biology major, is the reigning NCAA women's javelin champion, throwing a school-record 198-0 (60.36 meters) to capture the title ahead of runner-up teammate Jenna Gray last year. Little has three NCAA top-seven finishes and is a three-time Pac-12 winner and three-time first-team outdoor All-America.
Fisher, a senior electrical engineering major, won the NCAA outdoor men's 5,000-meter crown in 2017 and was third in the event last year. Fisher is coming a cross-country season in which he captured his second consecutive Pac-12 title and led the Cardinal to back-to-back conference team championships. He was the NCAA cross country runner-up and a three-time NCAA top-five individual placer.
Fisher owns nine All-America honors in track and cross country and is a three-time USTFCCCA Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He also was honored as the 2018 Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year in cross country.
Stanford opens the indoor track and field campaign on Saturday at the UW Indoor Preview in Seattle.
