Khaleb McRae Clocks Fastest 400-Meter Time in the World on Final Day of the New Mexico Collegiate Classic
On top of the clocking the fastest time globally, McRae’s 45.02 time is a new personal best and is also the NCAA front-running time
Albuquerque, N.M. – On the final day of the New Mexico Collegiate Classic, Alabama track and field's Khaleb McRae secured a first-place finish in the 400-meter dash via a national-leading, world-leading and new personal-best time of 45.02.
With his 5.40-meter (17-8.50) mark, Louis Martinez broke the school record in the men's pole vault to claim fourth in the event, giving him a new personal-best.
In total, Alabama would claim six event titles, 14 top-10 finishes and an event sweep while in Albuquerque, N.M., in addition to five different athletes adjusting UA's all-time top-10 lists.
HEAD COACH DAN WATERS
"What a day for Khaleb McRae. Posting the fastest time in the world this year in the 400 is an amazing feat and I couldn't be prouder of the work he's put in with Coach (Blaine) Wiley. Collectively, it was another strong weekend for the Tide with a number of student-athletes setting PRs. I also want to commend Louis (Martinez) for breaking our school's record in pole vault - another great individual performance from this weekend. At the midway point of the season, though, it's important we continue our momentum as we start approaching championship season."

I went to the Tiger Paw Invitational when my daughter ran for UAB. After her events I went on a cool down jog with her around campus. We ran across the levee that holds Lake Hartwell back from campus. We were directly above the indoor track facility and could see the football stadium from there. If that levee ever breaks, lots of damage will be done. Beautiful place, though.

Alums Daniel Haugh, Shelby McEwen Strike Gold at 2024 USATF Indoor Championships
The Crimson Tide’s Haugh broke the 28-year-old world record in the weight throw (26.35m | 86-5.50) while McEwen soared to a 2.28-meter (7-5.75) mark to successfully defend his USATF indoor high jump title
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Alabama track and field program saw two of its alumni earn gold-medal-finishes at the 2024 USA Track and Field Indoor Championships, as Daniel Haugh finished first in the men's weight throw and Shelby McEwen defended his USATF indoor high jump title.
On March 4, 1995, two months before Haugh was born, American Lance Deal set the world standard in the men's weight throw via a 25.86-meter (84-10) performance. Fast forward 28 years, Haugh's stepped up for his fourth attempt in the event at the 2024 USATF Indoor Championships and launched a blistering 26.35-meter (86-5.50) throw to obliterate Deal's original mark.
Over on the runway, McEwen arrived to New Mexico as the reigning indoor champion in the men's high jump. With only three athletes remaining, McEwen soared over the 2.28-meter threshold (7-5.75) to successfully defend his title from a year ago.
