So far this season, the Crimson Tide has posted 15 NCAA Regional qualifying times, led by senior All-American Latonel Williams, who has five qualifying times, three in the 100m dash and two as a part of the Tide’s 4x400m relay team.
The rest of the qualifying times have been spread out among the team with O’Neil Wright and Curtis McBride posting three qualifying times both have two in the 4x400m relay and Wright has an additional qualifying time in the 400m hurdles and McBride in the 800m. Jeff Fedler also has two qualifying times as a part of the 4x400meter relay team. Isaac Robinson has two, both coming in the long jump. Peter Etoot, Todd Fayant, Peter Kiprono, Brian Rohrer and Matt Vogtner all have one NCAA Regional Qualifying time each.
