NORTHRIDGE, Calif.---CSUN Track & Field's Trey Knight was one-of-10 selected to the 2025 Bowerman mid-indoor season watchlist on Thursday, as announced by The Bowerman Advisory Board. Knight becomes the first Matador in school history to be named to a watch list.
Established in 2009, The Bowerman is awarded to the collegiate track & field's top male and female athlete for the year. The advisory board considers performances inclusively from the collegiate indoor track & field and outdoor track & field seasons. The Bowerman award will be announced in December at the 2025 USTFCCCA Convention in Grapevine, Texas.
A native of Ridgefield, Wash., Knight set a school record in the weight throw at the Nevada Invitational with a mark of 24.87m (81-7.25) on Jan. 24. That first-place toss ranked first in the nation this season while it was the third-best in collegiate history and the eighth-best in world history.
His performance at the Nevada Invitational earned him M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week honors on Jan. 27, becoming the first Matador in school history to receive the weekly national honor for the indoor season. Knight also took home MPSF Athlete of the Week honors that week.
Last indoor season, Knight was the national runner-up in the weight throw at the 2024 NCAA Indoor Championships where he set a then school record toss of 24.14m (79-2.5). He was also previously named MPSF Male Athlete of the Year in 2024.
CSUN Track & Field returns to competition from Feb. 7-8 at the Wolf Pack Classic in Reno, Nev.
