<\/div>

In 2014, Deon Lendore was unbeaten in NCAA track and field and became the first and so far the only Caribbean athlete to win the Bowerman Award (given to the most outstanding NCAA Division 1 male and female track and field athletes).<\/p>\n

That year Lendore put together one of the most dominant collegiate campaigns ever. He ran in eight 400-meter finals in 2014, winning them all. His 45.03 was the fastest indoor time in the world that year, and his 44.36 outdoor time led the NCAA. In addition to indoor and outdoor national titles in the 400, he anchored the winning 4\u00d7400 meters relay and the runner-up 4\u00d7100 at outdoor nationals.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
