Doris Lemngole Clocks Second-Fastest Steeplechase in Collegiate History at the Wake Forest Invitational

Lemngole’s 9:22.31 in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase is the second-fastest time in NCAA history

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – On the lone day of the Wake Forest Invitational, Doris Lemngole recorded the second-fastest time in collegiate history in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase. Lemngole's time of 9:22.31 gave the freshman the NCAA-leading time, as well as the school record.

Before the night was over, Oussama El Bouchayby ran the 11th-fastest time in the NCAA this season, clocking a 1:46.47 in the men's 800-meter, en route to the fourth-fastest time in school history.

Carson Burian, in the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase, would also add his name to the record books, running the seventh-fastest time in school history with a personal-best 8:48.28.

In total, Alabama would claim two event titles and three top-10 finishes while in Winston-Salem, N.C. Three different athletes also adjusted UA's all-time top-10 lists in the one-day meet.

HEAD COACH DAN WATERS
"What a fantastic night of racing. Doris (Lemngole) was outstanding, clocking the second-fastest time in collegiate history in the steeplechase and setting a new school record. It's also great to see Oussama (El Bouchayby) back in action after his injury, running the fourth-fastest time in program history in the 800m."

"Competing here has been invaluable in keeping us sharp as we approach next week. With just one meet remaining before the postseason, we'll have the opportunity to iron out any kinks before the SEC Championships."
