Last Time Out

Alabama opened the 2020 indoor season at the UAB Blazer Invitational on Jan. 10, winning six individual events and one relay, as well as setting a NCAA top-five performance.
The first meet of the decade was highlighted by Tamara Clark's performance in the 300-meter dash. Clark's time of 36.56 is the fifth-fastest performance in NCAA history, and she became the third-fastest performer all-time.
Sophomores Chago Basso (shot put) and Bobby Colantonio Jr. (weight throw) claimed victories for men's throws.
Also picking up wins in their respective events were Paul Selden (men's 5000 meter), Robert Dunning (men's 60-meter hurdles), Leander Forbes (men's 500-meter dash) and the men's 4x400-meter relay made up of Dunning and juniors Champion Allison, Joshua St. Clair and Leander Forbes.
