Alabama Upsets No. 10 Georgia In Exciting 4-3 Victory
The No. 45 Alabama women's tennis team upset No. 10 Georgia Friday in an exciting 4-3 decision at the Alabama Tennis Stadium. With both teams tied at 3-3, a late push from Ola Pitak on court two won her the final two games of the night as she took a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 victory for the team win.

Alabama Track and Field’s Eliud Kipsang Sets New Collegiate Record
The Crimson Tide distance ace ran a blistering 3:33.74 to win the 1,500 meters at the Bryan Clay Invitational with the fastest time in collegiate history
Eliud Kipsang closed out a very good day for the Alabama track and field team with a new collegiate record in the 1,500 meters at the Bryan Clay Invitational Friday night.
Kipsang closed with an epic kick to go 3:33.74, bettering the previous collegiate mark by nearly a second at Cougar Stadium in Azusa, Calif. He beat pro runner Will Paulson by more than two-tenths of a second and was more than two and a half seconds better than the nearest collegian. He is now the only college runner in track and field history to go under 3:34.00 in the 1,500 meters.
At the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., Mercy Chelangat bettered her own school record with a 15:17.28, which move her into the all-time top 10 in collegiate competition.
Across the country at the Tom Jones Invitational, in Gainesville, Fla., Louis Martinez led the way, clearing the bar at 5.22 meters to win the men's pole vault, a mark that ranks him fifth all-time at UA. Alan de Falchi took second in the men's discus with a season-best mark of 60.57 meters, which ranks him fifth all-time at Alabama. Tarsis Orogot took third in the men's 200 meters, with a 20.39, which ranks him sixth all-time for the Crimson Tide.

Every time we walk out of the stadium at the end of a home meet we're really happy with our performances, setting incredible PRs and accomplishing some really special things.

In his first collegiate 1,500-meter race, Hillary Cheruiyot ran away from the pack, posting a stellar 3:38.22, which put him three-plus seconds ahead of his closest competition.

School Record Highlights Final Day of Alabama Track and Fields’ Crimson Tide Invite
Senior Isaac Odugbesan used a toss of 20.66 meters to better the school shot put record set in 1980
Alabama track and field's Isaac Odugbesan broke a 42-year-old school record to put an exclamation point on the final day of competition at the 2022 Crimson Tide Invitational, held at the Sam Bailey Track and Field Stadium this weekend.
Odugbesan, a three-time SEC shot put champion, unleased a throw of 20.66 meters on his final attempt of the competition to not only pick up the win but fly past Hreinn Halldorsson's school record of 20.54 meters set in 1980.
On the track, Talaya Lewis (11.36) and Ayla Stanisclaus (11.43) took the top top-two spots in the women's 100 meters, while Christal Mosley and Amara Obi went one-two in the women's 400 meters, going 53.12 and 54.10, respectively. Lewis' time ties her for eighth all time at UA.
Eliud Kipsang ran a huge 1:47.16 in the men's 800 meters to win by more than a second and a half, while Corde Long posted a career-best 50.80 to win the men's 400-meter hurdles by more than a half second. Long's time ranks him ninth all-time at Alabama.
Jekovan Rhetta, Tarsis Orogot, Mason Phillips and Demetrius Jackson combined for a blazing 38.86 to win the men's 4x100-meter relay, making them the second-fastest quartet in school history and the fourth fastest nationally this season.
Overall, Alabama tallied a dozen wins on the meet's final day.
Head Coach Dan Waters Said
"Before the weekend got started, I said that we've always walked away from our home competitions happy with the job we did, and that's especially true today. We had an amazing weekend all over the track and I'm really pleased with the effort by our team and what we were able to accomplish. We've still got a few things to work on over the next few weeks as we head into the championship season, but we're moving in the right direction. I'm super proud of Isaac (Odugbesan) and the way he keeps getting better and better as the season moves on. That throw was huge and puts him squarely in the national conversation. It was also good to take one of our oldest school records off the board. I want to thank everyone who helped put this weekend together. It takes a lot of people and a lot of effort to put on a first-class event like this and we're grateful to our staff, officials, administration and volunteers for all they did."
