Alabama track and field's Chris Robinson was named the Southeastern Conference's Men's Runner of the Week, while Samuel Ogazi was tabbed the Men's Freshman of the Week following their electric performances at the Battle of the Bayou last weekend.
Hailing from Tallahassee, Fla., Robinson registered a pair of NCAA-leading times last week. He highlighted the opening day of the Battle of the Bayou by clocking an NCAA-leading 49.13 in the men's 400-meter hurdles, while also setting the meet record en route to his first-place finish. Robinson teamed up in the men's 4x400-meter relay as the Crimson Tide's contingent ran a sub-3:01 time (3:00.77) to claim the event title, a meet record and the No. 1 time in the NCAA.
Coming from Kaduna, Nigeria, Ogazi was part of two top-three NCAA times last week. In his first race of the outdoor season, Ogazi clocked a 45.35 in the 400-meter dash to secure the No. 3 time in the nation. He also captured the fastest U20 400m time in the world, the second-fastest U20 time in Nigerian history, as well as the second-fastest 400-meter time by a Nigerian so far in 2024. Ogazi was also part of Alabama's NCAA-leading 4x400-meter relay that placed first with a time of 3:00.77

No. 22 Alabama Upsets No. 11 Texas A&M in Thrilling 4-3 Victory to Close the Regular Season
The Crimson Tide topped the Aggies for the first time in program history, helping secure the sixth seed in the SEC Tournament
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. –– The No. 22 Alabama men's tennis team (17-11, 6-6 SEC) defeated No. 11 Texas A&M (18-9, 7-5 SEC) in a thrilling 4-3 victory Sunday to close the regular season.
After the Aggies secured the doubles point, UA battled back-and-forth with Texas A&M in singles play. Matias Ponce De Leon evened the score at 1-1 with a win on court three, but Texas A&M found a victory on court four to take the lead again. Zach Foster tallied the Tide's second point with a win on court six, but once again the Aggies responded with a win, this time on court two. With just two matches remaining, Filip Planinsek found a come-from-behind upset victory over the 22nd-ranked singles player in the country, Raphael Perot, just seconds before Roan Jones won his second seven-point tiebreaker on court five to clinch the match.
From Head Coach George Husack
"We've had our opportunities this season and today was no different. Last year in College Station, we were on the losing end of a 4-3 match. Today, we had our chance to finish the regular season off the way we wanted it and the guys did it. The Aggies are always tough and are coached very well by Steve (Denton) and Kevin (O'Shea). Plenty of respect for them as coaches and they're both really good guys. I'm immensely proud of how our team responded after doubles and continued to push towards the finish line. They had their eyes on the prize and were relentless with their pursuit. Now off to Baton Rouge for the (Southeastern Conference) tournament. Keep moving the chains without excuses. That's all that matters."
