On Saturday at the SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships at the Sam Bailey Track & Field Complex in Tuscaloosa, Alabama corner Tony Brown and the 4x100-meter relay team reached the podium with an impressive time.

Brown, Jeremiah Green, Ahmed Ali and Tadashi Pinder finished third in the 4x100-meter relay with a time of 39.04 seconds, which was the group’s fastest time this season and the eighth-fastest time in school history.

Brown, who was a first-team All-American a season ago in track & field, also finished in seventh place in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 13.98 seconds. It was the rising junior defensive backs’ second-fastest time this year.

The Crimson Tide men’s track & field team finished third overall with 88 points -- its best finish since coming in third place in 1989. The women’s sixth-place finish (67.25 points) this week is its best since finishing sixth in 2006. Arkansas and Texas A&M finished first and second in both the men’s and women’s competitions this weekend.

“We had a great meet,” head coach Dan Waters said Saturday. “Every athlete that put on an Alabama uniform this weekend competed with great heart and great spirit. I could not be prouder of this team. Whether they made a final, or not, scored a point, or not, this is the kind of championship meet every coach wants to have.”

Daniel Haugh, Kord Ferguson, Joe Williams and Hayden Reed also finished 1-2-3-5 in the men’s discus as the Tide swept the medals in the event for the first time in school history and won it for the first time since 1987.

Brown, a former five-star recruit per the 247Sports Composite, practiced with the football team this spring, though the rising junior is reportedly facing an indefinite suspension from the NCAA. UA has appealed the suspension.

“He is facing some suspensions,” Nick Saban said this spring. “When I get the final data on that I’ll definitely let you know.”

Alabama will return to action at the NCAA East Regional in Jacksonville, Fla., on May 26-28. Qualifiers for the regional will be finalized on Monday, May 16. The top 48 in each regional event will participate for a chance to advance to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships scheduled for June 8-11 at the University of Oregon.
