Life at The Capstone is full of opportunities ...
from athletic events and cultural experiences ...
Life on The University of Alabama campus is defined by opportunities. If you want to get involved, join one of more than 300 student organizations, help plan concerts and speaker series, participate in intramural teams or run for student government. If you enjoy the arts, you can take advantage of a rich and varied schedule of musical, dance and theatre performances, art galleries and exhibitions, lectures and readings by writers, poets and experts on every topic imaginable. You can enrich your knowledge of the state and university’s history by visiting one of UA’s fine museums, which house countless historical artifacts and offer hands-on exploration opportunities. From the architecture on campus to the landscaping, The University of Alabama campus is one of the most beautiful places in the state of Alabama. The Ferguson Center, completed in 1973, was named for Hill Ferguson, a member of the Board of Trustees. Plans at the time called for the building to be constructed over Woods Hall, but it was built just to the north thanks to a student campaign to save the art building. The Ferguson Center Game Room located on the First Floor is the perfect place to unwind, test your skill at a video game, play a friendly game of pool or pingpong, or enter a campus tournament. With seven pool tables, video games, a ping-pong table, computer gaming and televisions, the Game Room offers a fun escape to the daily pressures of college life. The University of Alabama offers a complete educational, cultural and social experience. Whatever your interests, you’ll find a group, an organization, an activity or a program that will appeal to you at UA. There are more than 50 Greek organizations and more than 30 campus ministries at The University of Alabama. The newly expanded Student Recreation Center offers first-class recreation facilities to students, faculty and staff. It includes two multi-use gyms, nine multi-purpose courts, weight machines, 1/8-mile jogging track, extensive cardio area, locker rooms, indoor swimming pool, dry and steam saunas, 12 lighted tennis courts, four aerobics rooms, eight racquetball courts and a squash court—together encompassing more than 200,000 square feet. The facility’s outdoor aquatic area, which opened in the summer of 2003, features a lazy river, lap swim, large water-park-type slide and lots of deck space.

The University of Alabama’s Director of Athletics since 1999, Mal Moore has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athletically and academically while enjoying an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure.
His leadership has been crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period that has been, at times, extremely challenging. His guidance and effort helped Alabama athletics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise.
Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and student-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to elevate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports.
Moore’s dedication to, and love of, the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his lifelong contributions to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama System officially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility.
During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have benefitted every Alabama student-athlete, coach, and administrator. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a diversified field of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business community. All of those experiences and relationships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century.
Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced three national championships – the 2009 football title and the 2002 and 2011 NCAA gymnastics championships – as well as several Southeastern Conference championships, winning titles in football, gymnastics, men’s basketball, women’s golf, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone on a regular basis. In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum. Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. Moore has the distinction of being a part of eight national championship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992 and 2009) with the first coming as a player, the next six during his coaching career and the most recent during his tenure as director of athletics. As a player and coach, he was also part of 14 SEC championships and 27 bowl trips. He is the only individual connected with the Alabama program to be a part of eight national championships. During a coaching career that spanned 31 years, Moore spent 22 of those at Alabama with stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals. At Alabama, Moore started as a graduate assistant under Coach Bryant in 1964, then as defensive backfield coach for six seasons (1965-70) before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-82, serving as the Tide’s first offensive coordinator starting in 1975. He would go on to coordinate all of the offensive plays for several of Alabama’s national championship football teams. A 1963 graduate of The University of Alabama, Moore holds both an undergraduate degree in Sociology and a 1964 Master’s Degree in Secondary Education from the Capstone. Moore was born December 19, 1939, in Dozier, Ala. He and the late Mrs. Charlotte Moore have one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

The distance program aims to capitalize on another strong cross country season and carry that success over to the track. Veteran Kelsey Johnson leads the distance corps again and will try to bounce back from an injury and illness plagued fall. Last season, Johnson had the team’s top 5,000m and 10,000m during the outdoor season. Indoors, she finished fourth in the 5,000m and fifth in the 3,000m at the SEC Indoor Championships. Fellow junior Andrea Torske had a strong fall as well and returns as the team’s top steeplechase after finishing just outside the scoring in the event at last year’s SEC Outdoor Championships. Leigh Gilmore appears poised for a breakout season on the track after developing into an elite-level competitor in cross country. She was the team’s top performer in the 800m and 1,500m last season and is expected to reprise and exceed that role in 2010-11. Her sister, Sarah, only competed in three races last season but should return to the form that saw her turn in the 10th best 1,500m time in school history as a freshman. Sophomore Elsbeth Denton also gained valuable experience in the middle-distances last season and will be counted on to provided consistent depth in those events this year.

Alabama’s sprinters and hurdlers will once again be one of the most experienced and talented groups in the Southeastern Conference. Returning for the outdoor season is senior Kim Laing the defending SEC Champion in the 60m hurdles and 100m hurdles. Laing also earned All-America honors in the 100m hurdles by finishing seventh at the NCAA Championships. After battling injury, senior Talaya Owens promises to return to the level that saw her earn all-region honors and qualify for the NCAA Championships in the 400m hurdles twice. As a deep crew, the seniors will be joined by the likes of experienced veterans such as Audra Frimpong, Toni Graham and Camilla Armstead. Joining that experience is an extremely talented group of newcomers that includes Dacia Mays and Shani Chandler. Mays was the runner-up at the Florida State Championship meet while Chandler was one of the top hurdlers in the state of Georgia That abundance of talent will also give the coaching staff the luxury of multiple options in assembling relay teams capable of competing at a high level.

Two-time All-American Krystle Schade will again lead the Crimson Tide in the jumps. With a personal best of 6-0 she earned All-America honors during both the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2010 by finishing eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championship and seventh at the outdoor championships. Schade also has international experience, advancing to the PanAm Junior Games in 2009 after finishing second at the USA Junior Championships. The horizontal jumps return Audra Frimpong as one of the more veteran competitors. She will be joined by former junior college All-American Kia Wansley and freshman Chloe Hetherton. Hetherton was the Canadian junior national champion in the triple jump and own the Canadian junior national record in the event as well. In the multi-event discipline, Rachel Robbs headlines a talented group and looks to return to the NCAA Championships, which she qualified for in 2009. Robbs is second all-time at Alabama in the pentathlon and third in the heptathlon. Joining her this season is transfer Kaylon Eppinger. While at Cincinnati, Eppinger finished sixth in the Big East in the pentathlon and should be full strength after a season off to train.

With a former Olympian thrower at the helm in Sandy Fowler, it should come as no surprise that Alabama features some of the best and most technically sound throwers in the Southeast. 2009 SEC hammer throw champion Angelica Howard returns after missing 2010 due to injury and appears poised to return to championship form. The junior ranks in the top-10 at UA in four different disciplines and is expected to add to her already sterling resume. Sophomore Wilamena Hopkins finished fourth in the shot put at both the SEC indoor and outdoor championships while Amethyst Holmes is expected to make significant strides in both the shot put and hammer throw heading into her junior season. To add to the already strong lineup in the circle, Fowler brought the reigning two-time Irish junior champion hammer thrower to Tuscaloosa in Aoife Hickey. In the javelin, the Tide returns four scorers from last year’s SEC Championships. SEC runnerup Meghan Austin returns with the intent to end her career at Alabama as an SEC champion. Austin finished eighth in the East Region last season and advanced to the NCAA Championships. Finishing right behind Austin at the SEC Championships last season was Tuscaloosa native Bekah Hoppis who enters just her second season of collegiate competition. Brittany Hines was fourth in that event while multi-event specialist Rachel Robbs stepped in and finished seventh in the field as a sophomore.

` Sandy Fowler, a former World-class thrower and four-time All-American, National Champion and Olympian is in her 14th season at the helm of the University of Alabama women’s track team as head coach. Fowler has been teaching the value of teamwork since her first day with the Crimson Tide. She took over a program that was once one of the Southeastern Conference’s best, a program that won the conference indoor and outdoor title in 1994, but a team that spent the last part of the 1990s rebuilding to championship form. Fowler stresses that education is first and foremost at the Capstone and each athlete knows from the first day of the recruiting process that Fowler demands excellence in the classroom as well as on the track. “Athletes need to realize that education provides a lifetime of opportunity,” Fowler said. “Earning a degree from The University of Alabama is one of the biggest accomplishments of their life. Track and field will provide wonderful dreams, memories, national records, and world rankings, but an education stands alone. The opportunity to use something that you love [track & field] to accomplish this is once in a lifetime.” In 2007, former Crimson Tide NCAA Champion Beth Mallory received the pinnacle honor for an NCAA student-athlete, the NCAA Top VIII Award. This honor is given to the nation’s best student-athletes, both academically and athletically, who demonstrate the commitment to overall excellence necessary for life after athletics. “The pride that our athletes have in this program is what propels us to bigger and better times, heights and distances,” Fowler said. “There’s nothing better for me than bringing in a young athlete as a freshman and watching them grow physically and mentally within the program.” Step-by-step, Fowler and the Crimson Tide have come closer to returning the Tide to its championship heritage. Talent, teamwork and determination have jelled, along with a generous helping of expert coaching provided by Fowler and assistant coaches Randy Hasenbank and Scott Roberts. The Crimson Tide has made its intentions clear - success is again going to be an Alabama habit. In the spring of 2009, Fowler led Angelica Howard to Alabama’s first individual hammer throw SEC Championship in school history. Under Fowler’s guidance, Howard improved her mark in the hammer throw by close to 40 feet from her freshman year to her sophomore year. Fowler’s lone NCAA Champion at Alabama is Beth Mallory, who claimed the discus title in 2005, the first in school history. Mallory garnered six AllAmerican honors in four years at Alabama in the discus (2003-06) and hammer throw (2004-05). Upon taking control of the program in 1997, Fowler wasted little time returning the Crimson Tide to an All-American level of competition. Be-
Fowler’s most recent stints came as the head coach at the 2005 World Championships in Finland, where the U.S. had one of its best World Championship showings in recent history, and the 2009 Five Nations Meet in Scotland. In between international coaching jobs, Fowler served as a meet referee at the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials in New Orleans and as the Supervisor of Sports Information for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, she coached at the USA Track and Field’s Elite Throwers Olympic Development Camp every summer. Before joining the staff at Alabama, Fowler served as the University of Florida’s field events coach for eight years. During that span, the Gators won four SEC team titles as well as the 1992 NCAA Indoor Championship. She coached four athletes to seven All-American honors during her tenure in Gainesville. Fowler’s success began with her days as a champion shot putter at Northeastern University. In addition to being a nine-time AllAmerican, Fowler won the 1982 AIAW (the NCAA’s predecessor) National Outdoor title. She still holds school records at Northeastern in the shot put (53 feet, 11 inches) and discus (165-10). She graduated from Northeastern in 1983 with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education. She was inducted into the University’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1988. In the middle of her collegiate career Fowler earned a spot on the 1980 United States Olympic team as an alternate in the SNAPSHOTS shot put. Even though the U.S. chose not to participate in the 1980 Olympics, Fowler still Sandy Fowler is entering her 14th season as head counts the experience as a positive one. coach of the Alabama women’s track and field team. “They did a lot of nice things,” she said. “We had dinner at the White House and met the President and things along those lines sive in all areas.

Fowler’s success through the years has not gone unnoticed on the international level. She first got a taste for international coaching as an assistant coach at the 1990 Goodwill Games before also coaching as an assistant at the 1993 World Championships in Germany. Fowler served as an assistant coach at the 1999 World University Games in Spain before returning to the Olympic Games, not as an athlete but as an assistant coach, in 2000 in Sydney. fore her arrival prior to the 1998 season, Alabama had not had an All-American since 1996. By 1999, two athletes had earned All-American honors with three more earning the accolade in 2000. Overall, Fowler and her staff have produced more than 30 All-Americans. Fowler’s team success is basde on a philosophy of fielding a balanced squad, with an increasingly strong sprint, distance and field program. She is quick to point out that Alabama’s success is an end result of bringing in athletes who believe in the system as well as the coaching staff and feel a sense of ownership. “Our goal is to have a well-rounded program that is competitive at the SEC and NCAA level in all event areas,” Fowler said. “The emphasis is to keep the team moving forward by being tougher both mentally and physically than our competitors. Our team needs to be strong, consistent and aggres-

Randy Hasenbank recently wrapped is in his fifth season as the head women’s cross country coach and assistant track and field coach at the University of Alabama. In his five years at the helm of the program he overseen the most successful era in the program’s history and built the Crimson Tide into one of the stronger programs in the Southeastern Conference and the South Region. Before taking over the program in the fall of 2006, the cross country team had just one All-SEC performer since 2000 and no athlete had garnered All-South Region honors since 1999. However, in five short years with the Tide, Hasenbank reversed that trend with three All-SEC runners, three freshman All-SEC selections and five All-Region performances. He has had at least one NCAA All-South Region performer in four of the last five years including Sara Vaughn and Kelsey Johnson in 2008 and Johnson repeating her sophomore year in 2009. As a developer of talent, Hasenbank has also guided three freshmen (Haley Moody, Vaughn and Johnson) to a spot on the All-SEC team. In 2010, he guided the team to an sixth-place finish at the SEC Championship for the team’s second straight finish in the top half of the field to cap the best three-year span of finishes since 19982000. The Tide’s improvement under Hasenbank has been even more impressive on the regional level with two seventh-place and an eighth-place finish for the best cumulative three-year finish at the Regional Championships since 1986-88. In his first cross country season with the Tide, Hasenbank led Julia Hicks to an All-Region team honor and the NCAA Cross Country National Championships, the Tide’s first NCAA qualifier since 2000. The 2008 season was the most prolific campaign in the last decade of Alabama cross country. Hasenbank led a team comprised of mostly underclassmen (10-of-13) to a seventh-place finish at the SEC Championships and an eighth-place finish at the NCAA South Region Championships, the team’s highest finish at both meets since 2000. Hasenbank coached his second athlete (Vaughn) in four years to a NCAA Championship appearance. He coached Vaughn and Johnson to the 2009 USA Junior National Cross Country Championships where Vaughn advanced to the IAAF Junior World Cross Country Championships. With the pieces still in place from the solid 2008 season, his 2009 cross country squad continued to make strides toward the top of the SEC pack with a fifth-place finish, the program’s best finish since 2000.
SNAPSHOTS Randy Hasenbank has guided the cross country program back to the upper tier in the conference and the region.
That season was followed up by a 2010 edition that saw continual personal bests set throughout the season as the squad finished seventh at the regional meet despite entering the event ranked 11th in the region. Hasenbank joined the Alabama staff following four years at Wichita State where he served as head coach of the men’s and women’s cross country teams and assistant coach for the track and field program. He led the Shockers to the 2005 Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Cross Country Championship. Hasenbank coached Wichita State athletes to 64 All-MVC honors. Hasenbank had athletes break 13 school records while coaching 13 female athletes to NCAA qualifying marks. He coached 18 student-athletes to individual MVC Championships, 12 Regional qualifying marks and nine NCAA qualifying marks. In addition, his athletes earned four NCAA All-American honors, the Midwest Regional Athlete of the Year and the MVC Athlete of the Year. Hasenbank, a former steeplechaser, has enjoyed much success coaching the event as his athletes have earned eight NCAA regional qualifying marks and five NCAA qualifying marks. Most recently, Hasenbank coached Desiraye Osburn to a 9:47 effort in the event, which was good enough for No. 10 All-Time in U.S. history. In the spring of 2008, Hasenbank added eighttime junior college national champion Betty Rotich to the squad. Rotich made an immediate impact for the Crimson Tide, garnering All-SEC honors in
the indoor 5,000 meters and the outdoor 10,000 meters. In addition, Rotich became the first Alabama women’s distance runner to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships since 2000. During the 2009 outdoor season, Hasenbank coached freshmen Vaughn and Andrea Torske to the third and fifth-best performances in school history in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Fellow freshman Johnson qualified for the Mideast Region Championships in the 1,500 meters and the 5,000 meters. From the spring of 1990 until the spring of 1993, Hasenbank worked at Cloud County Community College in Concordia, Kansas, where he served as assistant men’s and women’s track and field coach, head men’s soccer coach, intramural director and instructor. As an athlete, Hasenbank earned junior college All-American honors as a member of the Cloud County track and field/cross country team. At Wichita State, he was an All-MVC performer and helped lead the nationally ranked Shockers to the 1989 MVC Cross Country Championship. A member of the Wichita State Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, Hasenbank earned a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Education in 1990 and a Master’s degree in Sports Administration in 1995, both from Wichita State. Hasenbank is married to the former Lennis Whitehair, of Abilene, Kan.

Considered one of the leading sprints, hurdles and jumps authorities in the nation, Scott Roberts is entering his fourth season as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama. Through three seasons at the Capstone, he has produced several of the best athletes in Alabama school history, including 21 All-Americans, with several of the top-five all-time marks including multiple school records. Entering the 2011 season, Roberts has coached at Alabama one Olympian (Trish Bartholomew), one world championships participant, 4 SEC champions, 8 All-SEC performers, 2 SEC Freshman Athletes of the Year, 22 Alabama Top 10 performers, and six school record holders. During the 2010 outdoor season, Roberts coached Kimberley Laing to an SEC title in the 100-meter hurdles and Clealsea Taylor to an SEC title in the heptathlon. Laing went on to earn All-American honors in the 100-meter hurdles, becoming only the second Alabama hurdler to earn that accolade. Taylor garnered All-American honors in two events, the heptathlon and the high jump, becoming the first Alabama student-athlete to earn multiple All-American honors in the same NCAA Championships since 2005. Krystle Schade also earned All-American honors both indoors and outdoors in the same season in 2010. Laing, Taylor and Schade earned 14 team points at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while leading the Tide to a 20th-place overall finish. During the 2010 indoor season, Laing won the SEC title in the 60-meter hurdles. Taylor and Schade earned All-SEC honors while finishing as runners-up in the pentathlon (Taylor) and high jump (Schade). Schade became the first Alabama athlete to earn SEC Freshman Athlete of the Year honors by virtue of her performance in the high jump, going on to place eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships to earn All-American honors. In 2009, Roberts had three All-Mideast Region performers as well as a 4x100-meter relay team for the second straight season. In addition, he guided five athletes in six events to appearances at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and one for the indoor championship meet. Chealsea Taylor and Rachel Robbs competed in the heptathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while Taylor and true freshman Krystle Schade saw action in the high jump. Also, Roberts oversaw Kim Laing and Talaya Owens in the 100-meter hurdles and 400-meter

Taylor also competed in the high jump at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Under Roberts’ guidance, Schade went on to place second at the USA Junior National Championships in the high jump, advancing to the Pan American Junior Games where she would also finish runner-up. Roberts made an immediate impact on the Crimson Tide in his first season where his athletes delivered four school record performances, one SEC Champion, two All-SEC performers, one All-SEC Freshman performer, three All-Mideast Region performers, a 4x100-meter relay team garnering All-Mideast Region honors and Trish Bartholomew who earned All-American honors for her performances, both indoors (2nd place and outdoors (2nd), in the 400-meter dash. While at Alabama, he coached hurdler Talaya Owens to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 400-meter hurdles, an event she picked up a mere six months earlier. Roberts helped Owens drop over three seconds on her best time in the event in under two months. In addition, Roberts coached former Crimson Tide All-American Trish Bartholomew of Grenada to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as well as the 2009 World Championships (Berlin) in the 400-meter dash. Roberts also works as a speed training consultant to the Alabama football team, having worked closely with former Crimson Tide
stars Rolando McClain and Javier Arenas as they prepared for the NFL Draft. Roberts’ sprinters, hurdlers and multi-event student-athletes rewrote the Iowa State University record books setting 52 school records and personal bests in more than 430 separate events. Prior to his tenure at Iowa State, Roberts coached two Missouri Valley Conference Champions in his one season at Drake University. At The Ohio State University, Roberts worked as a strength and conditioning coach with the Buckeye football program under head coach John Cooper. Roberts’ responsibilities included working with such standouts as Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George, future All-Pro receivers Joey Galloway and Terry Glenn, number one overall draft choice Dan “Big Daddy” Wilkinson and numerous other future NFL players on speed and strength development. Roberts, a Muscatine, Iowa, native, graduated in 1991 from Midland Lutheran College with a Bachelor’s degree in Education and Social Science/ Coaching. While at Midland Lutheran, he qualified three times for the NAIA Track and Field Championships. He was a member of the sixth-place distance medley relay team at the 1990 National Championships earning All-American honors. Roberts set eight school records at Midland Lutheran, including the indoor and outdoor 400-meter dashes.

Most coaches spend their summers enjoying the slower pace the season between seasons brings. There is still work to be done, planning for the coming year and recruiting is a never ending cycle, but the pace is not nearly as hectic. Except, of course, when your country calls on you for a little extra duty, which is what happened to Sandy Fowler in the summers of 2000 and 2005. Alabama’s head coach, considered one of the best throws coaches in country, was asked to serve as head coach of the 2005 United States World Championship team in Helsinki, Finland, and on the 2000 U.S. Track and Field Olympic staff as an assistant coach. She responded to both requests with enthusiasm. She became the first Alabama track and field coach to serve as part of an Olympic staff and the first to be head coach of the U.S. World Championship team. Under her guidance, the 2005 U.S. World Championship team won 10 total medals, including five gold, four silver and a bronze. The U.S. medal count was up from the 2004 Olympics, where they gathered six medals. “You learn so much coaching at that level,” Fowler said. “One of the biggest is coaching philosophies and coaching styles and you can bring them back here and implement those approaches into your program.” One of the most important, and daunting, aspects of any national team is putting together the relay teams, bringing together four individuals, always among the world’s best athletes and molding them into a team. Fowler was certainly successful in that at the World Championships as the United States won the gold medal in the 4x100m relay. “It’s interesting because you go over three weeks before the competition actually starts and at that time I was working with all the relay personnel and the sprint corps,” Fowler said. “The best thing is when the 4-by-100-meter relay actually won, because of the amount of work that went into that relay team. There are always conflicts on relay teams and I really stuck to my guns on the original team we put out there. They had run the fastest time in the world and all four of those young ladies deserved a medal and, of course, they got the gold medal.” In the summer of 2000, she packed her bags and headed to the Olympic Trials and then the training camps that led up to the Games before the U.S. contingent made its way to Australia for the Sydney Olympiad. “It was an experience I will never forget,” Fowler said of the whirlwind tour of duty. “You see and do so much that it’s hard to take it all in, but I have memories for a lifetime.” Three of Fowler’s athletes earned top-10 finishes at the world’s toughest meet. She marched in the opening ceremonies and got to do small amounts of site-seeing, but mostly she coached, taught and learned among the best in the world. Not only did her Sydney experience infuse her with tremendous national pride and the excitement of participating in a legendary event, but it brought her full circle in a way. In 1980, Fowler was an alternate on the U.S. Olympic team that did not participate due to a boycott imposed by then President Jimmy Carter. This time there was no stopping Fowler and the U.S. squad.
In 2000, Sandy Fowler was an assistant coach for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
P A U L I N E D A V I S O L Y M P I C N O T E In addition to participating in five Olympics, Alabama’s Pauline Davis has won three medals, one gold and two silver. At the 2000 Olympics, she was part of the “Golden Girls”, the Bahamas’ 4x100-meter relay that upset the United States contingent to win the gold. 54

It is, without a doubt, the toughest track and field conference in the NCAA. Alabama has been right in the thick of it since day one. In 1994, Alabama won the SEC Indoor Championship. In addition to its league championship, Alabama has finished in the top half of the conference 12 times since the first title was decided in 1984. Since 1984, Alabama has won 37 individual and relay titles, with Beau Walker winning back-to-back titles in 2005 and 2006, when she took top honors in the 60m hurdles. LSU leads the conference with 11 league indoor titles, adding another in 2008. Alabama head coach Sandy Fowler was part of Florida’s SEC Triple Crown (cross country, indoor and outdoor titles) as an assistant coach in 1997.

It is, without a doubt, the toughest track and field conference in the NCAA. Alabama has been right in the thick of it since day one. Twice, in 1986 and 1994, Alabama has won the SEC Outdoor Crown. In addition to the two victories, Alabama has finished second in the league five times since the first championship in 1981. At that first championship in 1981, Alabama won three individual titles. Since that year, Alabama has won 54 more for a grand outdoor total of 59. All 12 of the Southeastern Conference schools compete in track and field. Through 1991 there were 10 league schools, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Arkansas and South Carolina joined the league in 1992, adding to its already stellar reputation in the track and field community. LSU leads the conference with 10 league outdoor titles. Alabama head coach Sandy Fowler was part of two outdoor titles as an assistant coach with Florida in 1997 and 1998.

In 2003, The NCAA went to a regional format for determining the field of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. There were four regions across the country. Fields for the regional meets were composed of conference champions in each event and those who met the regional qualifying standards. The top five finishers in each individual event and the top three teams in each relay event at the regional meets advanced to the national championship. In 2010, the NCAA changed the regional format again. The new format consists of two regions - East and West. There will not be qualifying standards. Instead, the top 48 declared athletes on the descending order list in each event will qualify for the preliminary round.
