NEW ORLEANS, La - Women's track star Laura Pellicoro has been named to the 2025 Bowerman Watch List, becoming the first Pilot in program history to earn this recognition.
Pellicoro delivered a record-breaking performance this season, setting two new program-record in the 1,000-meter and Mile. Pellicoro ran a 1,000-meter time of 2:37.0 — the fastest ever by a collegiate women's runner and posted the NCAA's top Mile time this season at 4:25.60. Pellicoro was named National Athlete of the Week on Jan. 21 and MPSF Athelete of the Week on Feb. 4.
The Bowerman is awarded to collegiate track & field's top male and female athlete for the year. Athletes' performances are considered from the collegiate indoor track & field and outdoor track & field seasons only. The Bowerman will be awarded in December at the 2025 USTFCCCA Convention in Grapevine, Texas.
