ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Just days after capturing her second career NCAA 400-meter hurdles title, senior Savannah Sutherland of the University of Michigan women’s track and field team has been named a finalist for the Honda Sport Award for Track and Field, as announced by the Collegiate Women Sports Awards on Tuesday (June 17).
In her last race for the Maize and Blue, Sutherland capped an impressive career with her second national title in the 400-meter hurdles and her third straight top-two finish. She ran a personal best of 52.46 seconds to finish 2.20 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Akala Garrett of Texas and set five records — the Michigan program record, the NCAA record, the NCAA Championship meet record, the Big Ten record and the Canadian national record.
Sutherland is now just the second runner in NCAA history to break 53 seconds, with Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone setting the previous collegiate record of 52.75 in 2018. Sutherland is also just the third Wolverine in program history to earn multiple individual national titles.
The recipient of the award will become a finalist for the prestigious Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the 2025 Honda Cup, which will be presented during the live broadcast of the Collegiate Women Sports Awards Presented by Honda on Monda, June 30, at 7 p.m. on CBS Sports Network.
