Drouin had to consistently defeat 2012 Olympic silver high jump medalist and rival Erik Kynard for his two NCAA championships in 2013, and he had to surpass equally difficult competition in Arizona’s four-time 2013 NCAA champion distance runner Lawi Lalang and UCLA NCAA champion discus thrower Julian Wruck for The Bowerman Trophy. “I was completely honored to be amongst the finalists here,” he said, looking at the finalists and banners of former winners. “To be on the wall with those names is just surreal, and I can’t even picture my face being up there.” Drouin was interviewed on a high jump mat by ESPN’s John Anderson during the awards ceremony in Orlando. To the right is Drouin’s Bowerman Award banner, which now hangs in the Gladstein Fieldhouse at IU. 6 Follow the Hoosiers on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at IndianaXCTF 2017-18 INDIANA TRACK & FIELD HISTORY & RECORDS HISTORY & RECORDS 2014 WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS GOLD MEDALIST AND WORLD RECORD HOLDER - KIND BUTLER IU track & field alum Kind Butler (front, left) and Team USA broke a 15-year-old men’s 4X400-meter relay Indoor World Record at the 2014 World Indoor Championships in Sopot, Poland on March 9, 2014.
