USC senior Kendall Ellis was named to the Bowerman Post-Indoor Watch List, announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) today (March 14). The Bowerman is awarded annually at the end of the track and field season to the most outstanding track and field athlete.

Ellis won the 2018 NCAA Indoor Track & Field women's 400m title by setting a USA indoor record with a time of 50.34. She broke the previous USA record of 50.46 set by Phyllis Francis in 2014. Ellis also anchored USC's winning 4x400m relay team which posted a time of 3:27.45, which is also the fifth-fastest time ever by a collegiate women's quartet. USC holds the record of 3:27.03 set last year at the NCAA Indoor Championships, also anchored by Ellis.

Earlier in the indoor season, Ellis won the 200m at the MPSF Indoor Championships with a time of 23.36 and she owns a personal-best of 22.97, which ranks third on USC's all-time list.
