On the opening day of the 2024 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Victor Kiprop and Hilda Olemomoi went back-to-back in the final two events of the night, claiming gold in their respective 10,000-meter races.
Kiprop claimed the Tide's first gold of the weekend, crossing the line in 29:36.95. His victory marked the third-straight year the junior claimed gold in the men's 10,000-meter race, and the seventh-straight gold the Crimson Tide men have accumulated – the longest active streak in the SEC. Kiprop is also the first student-athlete in conference history to win three straight golds in the men's 10,000-meter run.
Olemomoi, shortly thereafter, collected her first career SEC gold medal in the women's 10,000-meter, recording a 33:47.19.
Chris Robinson (48.85), Corde Long (49.07) and Clayton Elder (50.50) qualified for Saturday's men's 400-meter hurdles final after their performances in the preliminary round. Tarsis Orogot would also qualify for the men's 200-meter final after recording a 20.18.
After the first day of competition, the Crimson Tide men sit in second with 18 points, while the UA women sit in third with 17 points.

In the final event on the second day of the 2024 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Doris Lemngole (9:28.21) claimed gold in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase, clocking both a meet and facility record, en route to Alabama's first gold medal in the event.
On the men's side, Carson Burian also medaled in the steeplechase, running 8:59.72 to give the junior a silver medal – the Tide's first second-place finish in the event since Antibahs Kosgei in 2017.
Before the night was over, Tarsis Orogot (100m | 10.17), Samuel Ogazi (400m | 45.49) and Khaleb McRae (400m | 44.76) qualified for their respective events on Saturday's final. McRae's 400-meter, personal-best time of 44.76 leads the NCAA and is now the fastest time in program history.
After the second day of competition, the Crimson Tide men sit in third with 39 points, while the UA women sit in fourth with 33 points.
