DENVER, Colo. — University of Kentucky sprinter Abby Steiner won The Bowerman, one of the most prestigious awards in collegiate track and field, the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association announced late Thursday night.

Having swept a host of 2022 awards including the Women’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Year Award, the Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year Award, and the Honda Sports Award for Track and Field, Steiner's latest hardware comes as no surprise.

Steiner, who came to UK from Dublin, Ohio, was one of three finalists alongside Florida star Anna Hall and California hammer thrower Camryn Rodgers. She's the first Wildcat athlete to win the Bowerman.

Among the swiftest athletes on the planet, Steiner won three NCAA titles this year. Individually, she swept the 200-meter dash at the indoor and outdoor national championships, setting an American record and second-fastest mark in world history with a blazing 22.09 seconds in the indoor event. 

In addition to the indoor 200 record, Steiner also set the collegiate records for the outdoor 200 (21.80) and indoor 300 (35.80) and as part of the 4x400 relay, which ran 3:21.93 at this year’s SEC Championships.

Steiner was both the SEC Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Scholar-Athlete of the Year after compiling a 3.802 grade-point average and earning a degree in Kinesiology. Having graduated summa cum laude in the spring, Steiner turned professional in the summer and immediately made her mark on the world stage. She won the 200 at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships, moving on to the World Athletics Championships, where she helped earn two gold medals for the United States as part of the 4x100 and 4x400 relays.
