NEW ORLEANS -- Courtney Okolo was named one of three finalists Thursday for The Bowerman, an award that honors the top NCAA male and female track and field athletes of the year.

Okolo won a pair of titles at last month's NCAA Outdoor Championships, helping the women's Track and Field team finish second in the team standings. She accounted for 14 of the team's 66 points, tied for the seventh-best individual total in school history at the NCAA Outdoor meet.

The sophomore from Carrollton, Texas, is the second Longhorn to be named a finalist for the award, which was instituted in 2009. Destinee Hooker was a finalist for the inaugural award.
