AUBURN, Ala. – Two Alabama track and field student-athletes broke facility records at the Hutsell-Rosen Track, Saturday, during the Tiger Track Classic. The Crimson Tide’s Trevor Gunzell launched a 62.94-meter throw (206-6) in men’s discus to claim the event title, while Samuel Ogazi clocked 44.98 in his men’s 400-meter season debut. Ogazi’s event-title-winning time is now the fourth-fastest time in the nation, while Gunzell holds a top-five national mark in discus.

Miracle Ailes (women’s long jump | 6.40m | 21-0), Christopher Crawford (men’s shot put | 19.42m | 63-8.75), Peter Diebold (men’s 800m | 1:49.44), Gunzell (men’s discus | 62.94m | 206-6), Jackson Harris (men’s 1,500m | 3:42.62), Ogazi (men’s 400m | 44.98) and Macy Schelp (women’s 3,000m steeplechase | 10:49.52) all captured their respective event crowns. Following Gunzell’s men’s discus title were Christopher Young (third | 58.82m | 192-11) and Christopher Crawford (fifth | 57.87m | 189-10), as the trio garnered top-five finishes in the event for the third consecutive meet.
