Alabama track star wins national championship, breaks NCAA record
After men's runner Samuel Ogazi won a title Friday night, another member of the Alabama Crimson Tide track and field team has won a national championship.
That national title winning runner is Doris Lemngole, who captured a championship yet again Saturday night in the women's 3,000-meter steeplechase. Lemngole joins Ogazi as outdoor national champions from Alabama in 2025, as the men's star won it all in the 400-meter.
To win the national championship, Lemngole finished the 3,000-meter steeplechase with a time of 8:58.15, which was a noteworthy mark as well. That is because Lemngole broke the collegiate record in the event, a mark which was previously held by herself.
With the result, Lemngole also goes back-to-back in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, defending her national title.
The Alabama star was also the 2024 cross country national champion, as well as the 2025 indoor 5,000-meter national champion.
