The Alabama Crimson Tide track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Alabama. The Crimson Tide compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Southeastern Conference. The team is based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, at the Sam Bailey Track and Field Stadium.[2]
The program is coached by Dan Waters.[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4]
The Crimson Tide won their only NCAA team title at the 1986 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships in the women's division, scoring 41 points.[5] However, in May 1986 Liz Lynch's mile championship title and 3000 m runner-up placing were vacated due to accepting prize money at road races against NCAA rules. The retroactive disqualifications subtracted 18 points from Alabama's score, leaving them in 5th place.[6][7] Alabama track coach John Mitchell resigned in the wake of the findings.[8][9]
