NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Alabama track and field team took first and second in the men's pole vault and posted four top-two finishes on day one of the Vanderbilt Invitational Friday.

The Crimson Tide swept the top-two spots in the men's pole vault with sophomore Jake Spotswood getting the win after clearing 17-0.75 (5.20m) and senior Will Herrscher taking second with a mark of 16-8.75 (5.10m).
