Alabama Track and Field to be Heavily Represented at National Championships

Alabama track and field wrapped up its final day of the NCAA East First Round in style as the Crimson Tide are sending three more athletes to the National Championships.

Doris Lemngole’s 9:13.12 time at the 3,000-meter steeplechase not only helped her win the race but she also broke the Hodges Stadium facility record. NC State’s Angelina Napoleon crossed the finish line in 9:37.12––which was the second-best mark. In other words, as usual, Lemngole absolutely dominated.

Joining Lemngole was Miracle Ailes, who used a season-best performance of 1.82 meters (5-11.50) to advance in the high jump, and Precious Nzeakor, who clocked an advancing, 23.03 time in the 200-meter race.

Across the four-day NCAA East First Round meet, the Crimson Tide be heavily represented at the National Championships at Oregon’s Hayward Field from June 11-14:

“Our team showed incredible grit and focus this week – advancing the number of student-athletes we did is a testament to their hard work, and we’re excited to carry this momentum to the National Championships in two weeks,” Alabama head coach Dan Waters said in a press release. “I couldn’t be prouder of how everyone competed throughout this meet – they supported each other, they rose to every challenge and represented the University of Alabama with excellence. This was a total team effort, and they’ve truly earned their shot on the national stage.”

No events are scheduled.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach

Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills

PRICHARD, Ala. (NBC 15) — Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
