We're super proud of the job they've done all season and the way they've represented this University. We didn't have the finish we were capable of on the men's side, but overall, it was a great season for us and we're looking forward to keeping things rolling on the track."

NEW ORLEANS – A program-best four Alabama women earned a place on the 2022 Cross Country All-America list, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Monday.
Mercy Chelengat tallied her third All-America honor for cross country while Flomena Asekol and Amaris Tyynismaa both took home the honor for the second time and Hilda Olemomoi earned the accolade for the first time.
Alabama's previous best total in a single season was three during the 2020 season when Chelangat, who won the national title that season, Tyynismaa, who was third, and Esther Gitahi, who was 36th, all earned All-America recognition.
The Alabama women were the only team, men or women, at the 2022 NCAA Championships to put four runners among the individual top-20. Olemomoi finished sixth (19:45.6), Tyynismaa (19:48.2) ninth, Asekol (19:56.5) 14th and Mercy Chelangat (19:58.4) crossed the line in 16th.

A total of 14 UA women have earned 19 cross country All-America honors, with Chelangat becoming the first three-time honoree in program history. Asekol and Tynnismaa join Elspeth Turner (1986 and 1987) as the Tide's two-time cross country All-Americans.

DEFENDING 200 BACK CHAMPION RHYAN WHITE PULLS OUT OF SC WORLDS
USA Swimming has announced some last-minute changes to their roster for the 2022 World Short Course Swimming Championships.
Backstroker Rhyan White will miss the trip due to an undisclosed illness, while Erika Brown, Isabelle Stadden, and Claire Curzan all added new events.
White, a 5th year swimmer on the team at the University of Alabama, was seeded 5th in her specialty, the 200 meter backstroke. She was also seeded 7th in the 100 backstroke and 13th in the 50 backstroke.

White also won a bronze medal in the 200 back in long course this summer at the World Aquatics Championships.
