Alabama rising sophomore cornerback Tony Brown is a dual-sport athlete for the Crimson Tide, competing in both football and track and field. Saturday afternoon, as the Alabama track and field team competes in the Vanderbilt Indoor Invitational in Nashville, Tenn., Brown won the 60-meter hurdles event with a time of 7.89, according to Alabama track and field's Twitter account (@AlabamaTrack).

Brown's winning time was the seventh-best time in Crimson Tide history, the fourth fastest in the Southeastern Conference this season and the 15th quickest in the NCAA this year.

Last season, Brown's first on Alabama's track and field roster, his best finish was third place. Earlier this season, he qualified for the finals in the 60-meter sprint, but a false start ruined his chances to place.

Brown, a former five-star recruit and the No. 2 corner prospect in the 2014 recruiting cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, played in 13 games for the Crimson Tide football team this past season, starting against Florida and Ole Miss. He recorded 10 total tackles (seven solo) and broke up one pass.
