Hedengren is the fourth BYU women to make the list.

Musau, a semifinalist from last year, returns to The Bowerman Watch list after winning the NCAA indoor 3,000m and 5,000m titles and the NCAA outdoor 5,000m title. He was also named the 2025 Outdoor USTFCCCA Midwest Region Athlete of the Year.
Texas Tech’s Seremes debuts on The Bowerman Watch list after winning the NCAA indoor triple jump title. He capped his season by representing France at the World Athletics Championships. Seremes becomes the eighth Red Raider man named to the list.
