Albuquerque, N.M. - University of Alabama senior Diondre Batson won the 200-meter dash national title to highlight the Tide's first day at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships Friday at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M.

"Diondre had a fantastic day," said Alabama head coach Dan Waters. "He broke two school records--one that was held by a gold medalist and one by another Olympian. He had two phenomenal runs. It was always a goal to have him do something special. We made a promise to each other, and he held up to his end of the promise."
