Boise State track and field star Allie Ostrander was announced as the 2019 Mountain West Conference Women’s Outdoor Track and Field Student-Athlete of the Year, as voted on by the league’s coaches, on Monday. With the announcement, Ostrander became the first women’s athlete in conference history to win the award three consecutive years.

The redshirt junior successfully defended her national title in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, winning in a school-record time of 9 minutes, 37.73 seconds. Ostrander is the first female athlete to win three-straight national titles in the steeplechase, and only the 15th woman to win three-straight titles in the same event.

She also earned second-team All-America honors in the 5,000 meters, placing 16th.

Ostrander also earned All-Mountain West honors in both the 1,500 meters and the 5,000 meters this spring. She successfully defended her conference title in the 5,000, while taking second in the 1,500 for the second-straight year.

In addition, she posted nation-leading marks during the outdoor season in both the steeplechase and the 10,000meters — an event where she set the Mountain West record. She displayed her versatility by ranking in the top 20 nationally in both the 1,500 (12th, 4:14.76) and the 5,000 (17th, 15:45.66).

Ostrander was named a semifinalist for The Bowerman — track and field’s highest honor — last week.
