SEC SWEEP! Alabama Wins Women's and Men's 2022 SEC Cross Country Titles

The Crimson Tide swept the men's and women's titles for the first time in program history

OXFORD, Miss. – It was a very good morning for Alabama cross country.

For the first time in program history, the Crimson Tide swept the Southeastern Conference team championships Friday at the Ole Miss Golf Course, in Oxford, Miss..

The Alabama women used a dominant 36-point performance to win its first Southeastern Conference title in 35 years Friday morning, while the men hung tough to score 59 points for the win.

The Alabama women put four runners in the top-seven finishers, including Mercy Chelangat and Hilda Olemomoi in second and third, respectively. Amaris Tyynismaa finished in fifth while Flomena Asekol in seventh. Rounding out the Tide's scoring five, Elka Machan clinched the UA's victory with a 19th place finish.

Arkansas was second in the women's race with 74 points, followed by Ole Miss in third with 83.

The Alabama women have now won three SEC team titles, with the first two coming back-to-back in 1986 and 1987. The Crimson Tide's victory marks the first time since 2012 that Arkansas has not won the SEC team title.

With the women's title in the books, Alabama turned right around and did it again, winning the men's titles with 59 points in one of the tightest SEC men's races in conference history. Alabama beat Tennessee and Arkansas, which tied for second place, by five points, while Ole Miss was fourth with 65 points.

Victor Kiprop led the men by winning the individual race. He was followed by Hillary Cheruiyot in fourth and Eliud Kipsang in seventh. Brady Grant came in 19th place, leaving it to the fifth and final scoring slot to secure the victory. Jacob Harris gutted out a 28th place finish to secure Alabama's second championship trophy of the morning.

Friday's title was the fourth for UA's men after also winning in 1973, 2008 and 2009. Kiprop's title was the men's 13th individual title and fifth since 2015.
