Alabama Adapted Athletics: UA Men With a Tiger Takedown Over the Weekend
The University of Alabama adapted men’s basketball team continued their winning ways over this past weekend with two big victories over the Auburn Tigers. The final score in Friday’s game was 72-55. Saturday’s contest ended with a final score of 68-46.
On Friday, two of the Alabama adapted men scored double digit points led by Ignacio Ortega with an incredible 30 point effort. Lindy Bridges was on his game as well, scoring 25 points for the Tide. Looks like Nate Oats isn’t the only basketball coach on campus with some serious talent on the squad.
Saturday’s match-up was again a dominant performance by the UA adapted men’s basketball team. Ortega once again led the Tide with 36 points. Lindy Bridges and Abraham Hausmar also had hot hands scoring 15 and 13 respectively for the Crimson Tide.

Literally the least I can do for y'all
So both relays are done tonight. We tied for 2nd in the 200 medley relay. Under auto qualifying by a full second. The 200 and 400 relays have been a huge source of our points at NCAAs. Glad to see we appear to be on par. Lost a great swimmer last season, so it had been a concern of mine. The freshman replacement split an 18.61 to anchor our relay... which is a hell of a number to start your career with.
I hate to trash the 800 free relay, but at ncaa level catering to that specific relay doesn't pay off in other events as richly. Regardless, 8th place tonight. Wasn't expecting much, so I get that placing. The remaining 3 relays are all more indicative of team success at the next level.

Alabama Men’s Swimming Opens SEC Championships with Relay Medal
The quartet of Matt Menke, Derek Maas, Colton Stogner and Matt King took silver in the 200 medley relay
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Alabama swimming and diving opened the men's swimming portion of the 2021 Southeastern Conference Championships by taking silver in the 200 medley relay at the Mizzou Aquatic Center in Columbia, Mo., Tuesday night.
Matt Menke, Derek Maas, Colton Stogner and Matt King combined to post a 1:23.28 in the 200 medley relay to take second place. It was the Crimson Tide's sixth SEC podium finish in the 200 medley relay over the past seven years and fourth top-two finish over that span.
The Crimson Tide also posted a season-best 6:23.29 in the 800 freestyle relay to close out the championship's first night, with Nicholas Perera, Liam Bell, Matt Menke & Cam Auerbach taking eighth place, its best finish since 2017.
Interim Head Coach Ozzie Quevedo
"What a great swim to open the meet. We lost last year's lead off, Zane Waddell, the World Champion in the 50 backstroke, to graduation, and yet we continue to make noise in the 200 medley relay. In fact, every leg of that relay changed since last season and yet we continue to earn a spot on the podium. There's a saying at Alabama, 'Tradition Never Graduates,' and I think that's so true, and we certainly have created a tradition of excellence when it comes to relays. Now we have to continue to build off this start and scrap for every point as we move into the week."
Other Notes from Day One
*With tonight's second-place finish, Alabama's men have earned 22 SEC relay medals since 2015 with six coming in the 200 medley relay, including tonight's silver-medal showing
*Freshman Matt King had the second fastest anchor split of the night, going 18.61
*Prior to the start of the meet, Cole Brown was named to the 2021 Men's SEC Swimming and Diving Community Service Team

Family Traditions Drive Alabama Men’s Tennis Graduate Student Alexey Nesterov
The Moscow, Russia, native has been encouraged and inspired by his family to strive for excellence in all areas of the collegiate experience
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alexey Nesterov picked up a tennis racquet at the age of six, striving since that point to be the best he can be on the court. That drive to excel came from someone who knows a thing or two about athletic excellence.
"Ever since I picked up a tennis racquet I have been striving to become as good of an athlete as my grandma was, and that's the reason for any of my achievements in tennis," Nesterov said.
Alexey's grandmother, Klara (Guseva) Nesterova, was a speed skater, who among her other accomplishments, won gold in the 1,000-meters at the 1960 Olympic Games in Squaw Valley.
"I have always been very proud of her achievements and the way she carried herself around others," Nesterov said. "She was always optimistic, energetic, caring and ready to move heaven and earth for those she loved."
In addition to providing her grandson with a positive role model in day-to-day life, she also motivated him to always push to be better.
"The stories she told me about her career definitely inspired me and made me want to achieve big things in sports," Nesterov said.
A graduate student in his final year with the Crimson Tide, Nesterov has made an impact on the Crimson Tide's lineup since day one, with ranked wins throughout his first four years and time spent ranked nationally in doubles with Riccardo Roberto in the fall of 2019.
Tennis isn't the only area Nesterov has excelled in since arriving in Tuscaloosa. The Moscow, Russia, native is a four-year ITA Scholar-Athlete and a 2020 CoSIDA At-Large Team Academic All-District honoree. He posted a perfect 4.0 grade point average on his way to a bachelor's degree in finance, and is now working on a master's degree in the same discipline.
Once again, family has been the impetus on his success.
"My parents, especially my mom, have been a huge part of my success in the classroom," Nesterov said. "They have always told me that while it's great to be an athlete, it's also equally, if not more, important to have a good education. In high school there were plenty of times when I struggled to manage all the schoolwork with a challenging practice schedule and never-ending tournaments, but my parents were always there for me to help in any way possible."
Nesterov and his teammates return to action this weekend in Tuscaloosa, facing Southeastern Conference foes Kentucky and Vanderbilt. The Tide will face the Wildcats Friday starting at 6 p.m. CT and the Commodores on Sunday at 1 p.m. CT.
The Moscow, Russia, native has been encouraged and inspired by his family to strive for excellence in all areas of the collegiate experience
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alexey Nesterov picked up a tennis racquet at the age of six, striving since that point to be the best he can be on the court. That drive to excel came from someone who knows a thing or two about athletic excellence.
"Ever since I picked up a tennis racquet I have been striving to become as good of an athlete as my grandma was, and that's the reason for any of my achievements in tennis," Nesterov said.
Alexey's grandmother, Klara (Guseva) Nesterova, was a speed skater, who among her other accomplishments, won gold in the 1,000-meters at the 1960 Olympic Games in Squaw Valley.
"I have always been very proud of her achievements and the way she carried herself around others," Nesterov said. "She was always optimistic, energetic, caring and ready to move heaven and earth for those she loved."
In addition to providing her grandson with a positive role model in day-to-day life, she also motivated him to always push to be better.
"The stories she told me about her career definitely inspired me and made me want to achieve big things in sports," Nesterov said.
A graduate student in his final year with the Crimson Tide, Nesterov has made an impact on the Crimson Tide's lineup since day one, with ranked wins throughout his first four years and time spent ranked nationally in doubles with Riccardo Roberto in the fall of 2019.

Alabama Track & Field Starts SEC Indoor Championships with Championship Record and Three Medals
The Crimson Tide women won their first DMR title since 1994 on the way to becoming the first quartet under 11 minutes at the championships, setting the SEC record at 10:59.21
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Not a bad way to start.
One event into the 2021 Southeastern Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships being held in Fayetteville, Ark., this week, and the Alabama women took gold with a championship record. One event in for the men, and the Crimson Tide took silver, before adding another silver medal to close the day.
Jami Reed, Christal Mosely, Lauren Turner and Amaris Tyynismaa shattered the championship record, dropping it by more than five seconds, on the way to winning gold in the women's distance medley relay (DMR) with a 10:59.21. The Tide's mark also destroyed the school DMR record, knocking nearly 18 seconds off the mark set in 1994.
On the men's side of things, Jace Jones, Gabe Serrano, Grady Shiflet and Eliud Kipsang grabbed the silver medal in the DMR in a time of 9:31.77. It marked Alabama's first medal in the race since also taking second in 2016, and its seventh SEC medal overall.
The men closed the day with another silver medal when Bobby Colantonio Jr., used a toss of 73-6 (22.40m) to take second in the weight throw. It is his first SEC medal in the event, the Crimson Tide's sixth overall and second since 2018.
The Crimson Tide men lead the team race with 17 points while the women are fifth with the 10 points from the DMR.
Head Coach Dan Waters Said
"What a way to start things off. Both DMRs came out hot and really set the tone for the week. What an amazing performance for Jami, Christal, Lauren and Amaris, smashing the championship record by more than five seconds and knocking more than 17 seconds off the school record – that's very, very impressive. We're also really proud of the job that Jace, Gabe, Grady, Eluid and Bobby did in getting the big points up on the board for us. I can't say enough about the way Eliud brought us home in the DMR, taking us from the back of the pack to the front with the fastest final split by nearly three seconds. Now we just need to go into tomorrow and keep things rolling."
