Tide wins 14 Events at Border Clash; Batson Runs Wind-Aided 10.01 in 100 Meters The University of Alabama track and field team won 14 events and set more than a dozen personal bests at the inaugural Border Clash at Sam Bailey Track and Field Stadium Friday. The Crimson Tide had 10 performances in nine events land in the school’s all-time top 10 during the day-long meet, which pitted teams from the state of Alabama (Alabama, Auburn and Samford) against teams from the state of Mississippi (Mississippi, Mississippi State and Southern Mississippi). The state of Mississippi topped the men’s standings by a score of 107-92, while the state of Alabama won the women’s competition 121-76. “It was a great meet from a team standpoint,” said Waters. “We were able to pick up quite a few victories and set some new personal records, and we competed really well. It was a unique and fun meet just by the way it was set up, and I think that helped create some quality competition from both states. I’m pleased with our performances, and hopefully this gives us some good momentum heading into the Mt. SAC Relays next weekend.” Alabama will cross the country next weekend for the Mt. SAC Relays, one of the world’s premier track and field meets, held annually at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, California.
