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."

Alabama Rowing Collects Seven Wins at the Big Ten Invitational

The Crimson Tide finished first in seven of 15 races in Sarasota, Fla.

SARASOTA, Fla. – Alabama rowing grabbed seven wins over the two-day regatta at the Big Ten Invitational, hosted at Nathan Benderson Park.

Friday morning's session yielded four victories for the Crimson Tide, highlighted by a five-second difference between Alabama's Second Varsity 4+ crew (7:32.583) and Wisconsin's second-place boat. UA's First Varsity 4+ crew also finished well ahead of its opponent – four seconds (7:30.622) faster than Clemson's second-place boat.

The first day of racing was capped with Alabama's Third Varsity 8+ crew crossing the finish line first (6:59.025), over one second ahead of Minnesota's second-place crew.

The weekend regatta concluded on Saturday with a three-second victory for the Third Varsity 8+ crew (6:52.238), finishing ahead of No. 16 Indiana, No. 13 Rutgers, and Notre Dame.

HEAD COACH GLENN PUTYRAE
"We saw some great racing this weekend from all of our crews and got solid results. What the times didn't show was the base fitness the athletes have developed through the long months of training. In almost every race, our crews showed that they were faster than almost every crew they raced from 500 meters in to the finish line. Because of their hard work, the athletes showed everyone that was watching the strength and depth of our team."
