ees of The University of Alabama officially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility.

Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced two national cham-pionships, the 2009 football title and the 2002 NCAA gymnastics championship, as well as several Southeastern Conference championships, winning titles in football, gymnastics, men’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both base-ball and softball. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Ath-lete 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 Is-sues 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 distinc-tion of being a part of eight national cham-pionship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992 and 2009) with the first coming as a player, the next six during his coach-ing career and the last 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 Tide program to be a part of eight national championships.

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 and has undergone an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure.

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.

During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 mil-lion of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those proj-ects 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 con-stituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business commu-nity. All of those experiences and relation-ships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century.

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 ath-letics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a fu-ture that holds great promise.

Moore’s dedication to and love of the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his life-long contribution to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trust-

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 and Phoenix Cardi-nals. At Alabama, Moore started as Coach Bryant’s graduate assistant in 1964, then as defensive backfield coach for five years beginning in 1965 before becoming quar-terbacks coach from 1971-82 and serving as the Tide’s first offensive coordinator start-ing in 1975. He would go on to coordinate all of the offensive plays for Alabama’s last four national championship teams.

A 1963 graduate of The University of Ala-bama, 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.

In 2009, the Alabama women’s track and field team, led by head coach Sandy Fowler, came within just 3.5 points of reaching its goal of finishing in the top six at the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Even though the squad’s goals were not reached, the bar is still raised a bit higher for the ladies as they start in on their 2010 campaign. The Crim-son Tide returns all but one member of the team that scored at last season’s SEC Outdoor Championships.

“The season this year is going to be fantastic,” Fowler said. “I could see us easily placing in the top five both indoor and outdoor as a team. We have a lot more depth than we had a year ago. Overall as a team, our fall training has been remarkable.” In regards to finding a leader on the depth-filled team, there is at least one in each event area. With very few new faces on the squad this year, it has be-come an even more veteran led program and each knows just how important it is for everybody to do their job. “I would say Chealsea Taylor, Angelica Howard, Elizabeth Wilson, Kim Laing, Kelsey Johnson and Haley Moody have become our leaders,” Fowler said. “The team has gelled together real well and as a result, everybody wants to help the team out. I think that has kind of affect-ed everybody in each area. Everybody is starting to buy in to the program and that’s why we see so many leaders.”

Although there are just a few rookies on the roster in 2010, these newcomers still bring a high level of talent to the team. In the distance area, Katlyn Will and Elsbeth Denton already made their presence known during the cross coun-try season where they ran in the top sev-en for the team in every race. Tuscaloosa native Bekah Hoppis joins the Crimson Tide as former state champion and state

record holder in the javelin as well as the discus. Wilamena Hopkins is a very highly touted signee who can contribute immediately in both the shot put and discus. “Katlyn Will is going to be a heavy hit-ter in the distance events as well as Els-beth Denton,” Fowler said. “Bekah Hoppis is a young lady that’s coming from a whole bunch of different events so now that she has the ability to just focus on track and field will be a huge factor. Wilamena Hopkins could contribute in not only the shot put and discus, but the weight and the hammer as well. She has very good feel for the way her body moves in space, which is a very key sign for a great athlete. She ac-tually reminds me of an athlete we used to have here, Beth Mallory (2005 NCAA Champion, Discus).”

“I thInk the season thIs year Is goIng to

We had a year ago. overall as a team,

TRACK AND FIELD 25

The distance program returns everybody from a year ago and will be led by Mideast Region qualifier Kelsey Johnson. Johnson qualified for regionals in the 1,500 and 5,000 meter races, yet only competed in the 5,000m run in which she placed 13th as a freshman. There are going to be several others that could contribute on the oval as well and possibly advance to regionals, something this team has lacked in the past. Haley Moody had a successful cross country season after having a tough sophomore year and looks poised to have a just as good track season. Sara Vaughn and Andrea Torske enter their second season in the steeplechase after turning in the No. 3 and 5 fastest times in school history as rookies. The Gilmore twins, Leigh and Sarah, have no doubt been the most improved since joining the Crimson Tide team. The Gilmores set personal bests all throughout the outdoor season in 2009 and made significant drops in cross country this past fall. If the ladies can carry over their success from the fall in cross country, they have the ability to make some noise around the conference.

“Our distance program is doing great,” Fowler said. “We’ve made some great strides in the past few years in the direc-tion that Coach Hasenbank and I would like to see it go. This past cross country season is an example of that when we placed fifth at SECs. It’s a kudos to them for buying into the program that Coach Hasenbank has been trying to put together.”

ALABAMA26

TRACK AND FIELD 27

The Alabama track and field team is quickly becoming a dominant force in the hurdle world. The 2010 roster includes senior NCAA qualifiers Kim Laing in the 100 meter hurdles and Talaya Owens in the 400m hurdles. Laing brought the second fastest time into the SEC Championships but fell in the finals only to recover by placing third at the Mideast Region Championships. She returns as one of the best in the conference as well as the nation.

Owens had a tough road towards the end of last season as she competed with a knee injury and therefore did not advance past the first round at the NCAA Championships. She will certainly have eyes on her this season and has the potential to make her third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships.

Not to be outdone, Audra Frimpong is a person that will help the Alabama squad in the hurdles, the long jump and the relays – number one would be in the hurdles. Frimpong had a chance to join her teammate Krystle Schade at the Pan Am Junior Games, but fell in the hurdle race at the USA Junior National Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She finished seventh at the SEC and Mideast Region Championships in the 100m hurdles as a rookie last season.

Also, keep an eye on the 4x100m relay team. The relay team finished fifth at the SEC Championships and fourth at the Mideast Region Championships a year ago and returns every member.

ALABAMA28

TRACK AND FIELD 29

The Crimson Tide will be led in the jumps by sophomore high jumper Krystle Schade. Schade boasts a personal-best clearance of 6-feet and competed at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as just a freshman where she placed 11th. Over the summer, Schade represented the United States at the Pan Am Junior Games where she finished in second place. Chealsea Taylor will join Schade in the high jump once again and, as always, will be a threat to win the SEC title. In three trips to the SEC Championships, including indoor and outdoor, Taylor has finished third twice and second once – and that is after competing in the pentathlon and heptathlon. Audra Frimpong will represent Alabama in the long jump, although her main focus will be in the sprints and hurdle area.

“When you’re talking about events like the jumps, as you do it more and more you become more consistent,” Fowler said. “As the athlete focuses more on the areas they need to strengthen, those things start to come together. Ideally, if you’re being peaked right and trained correctly it’s going to happen more towards the end of the season.”

ALABAMA30

TRACK AND FIELD 31

In the multi-events, the Tide returns two NCAA qualifiers – senior Chealsea Taylor and junior Rachel Robbs. Taylor holds the school record in the pentathlon and has finished third at the SEC Championships the past two years. In her first time ever competing in the heptathlon, she finished fourth at the SEC Championships with four of the seven events being brand new to her. As for Robbs, who holds the second-best score in the pentathlon and third in the heptathlon in school history, she will be looking to make her second consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships as well. Fowler has high hopes for both of these stellar athletes in 2010.

“Chealsea is a national-caliber athlete in the multi-events and now after a year under her belt, she should have a lot more confidence and nothing will be new to her,” Fowler said. “Rachel, being a freshman and placing as high as she did is absolutely fantastic. For Rachel, once you make nationals, you typically make the return to that meet and I could definitely see her moving up the standings easily and quickly.”

ALABAMA32

TRACK AND FIELD 33

During the outdoor season in 2009, the Alabama track and field team saw Angelica Howard win the school’s first SEC title in the hammer throw. From her freshman to sophomore season, Howard improved her hammer throw by nearly 40 feet. Unfortunately, Howard did not fare as well at the region meet, thus missing out on her opportunity to compete at the NCAA Championships last season.

“One of Angelica’s goals this year is to win the weight this year and I think that’s a very legitimate goal for her this year,” Fowler said. “Once someone becomes an SEC Champion, their mindset changes a lot going into their next season in regards of defending their title as well as contributing at nationals.”

Meghan Austin, who also struggled a bit during the last portion of the season last year, should be a contributor once again in the javelin. She placed eighth in the javelin at the 2009 SEC Championships after having finished fifth the year before, but Coach Fowler believes that she has fixed the problems that inhibited her last season.

“I can tell you from her training this fall, Meghan’s easily going to be, distance-wise, up there very, very high,” Fowler said. “She should be top three at SECs and if she does that, I think we will not only see her advance at regionals, but she should make it to nationals.”

TRACK AND FIELD 53

Former World-class thrower Sandy Fowler, a four-time All-American, National Champion and alternate for the Olympic team is entering her 13th season at the helm of the University of Alabama women’s track team as head coach. Fowler wasted little time in her efforts to return the Crimson Tide squad to an All-American level of competition. Be-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. In the last nine seasons, Fowler and her staff have pro-duced 25 All-Americans. Fowler’s success has come largely due to her philosophy of fielding a balanced squad, with an increasingly strong sprint, distance and field pro-gram. She is quick to point out that Alabama’s suc-cess 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 pro-gram that is competitive at the SEC and NCAA level in all event areas. The emphasis is to keep the team moving forward by being tougher both mentally and physically than our competitors,” Fowler said. “Our team needs to be strong, consistent and aggres-sive in all areas. My philosophy has been to be selfish when you compete, worry about yourself, be aggressive, and want the victory more than your competitor.” Another Fowler ‘stepping stone’ was re-turning the Crimson Tide to the top half of the SEC. She was able to accomplish that in the spring of 2001 when the squad took sixth at the SEC Outdoor Championships. “Getting this program back to the top of the SEC was a big step for us,” Fowler said. “The Southeastern Conference is without a doubt the most talented conference in the country and if you are successful here, you’re going to be successful on a national level.” 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 South-eastern 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 ‘90s rebuilding the championship form. Fowler stresses that education is first and fore-most 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. The track team placed 13 student-athletes on the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll in 2009. “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, memo-ries, national records, and world rankings, but an education stands alone. The opportunity to use something that you love [track & field] to accom-

plish this is once in a lifetime.” In 2007, former Crimson Tide NCAA Champion Beth Mallory received the pinnacle honor for a NCAA student-athlete, the NCAA Top XIII Award. This honor is bestowed upon the best student-athlete, both academically and athletically, who demonstrates the type of commitment athletes need to have for their future. “The pride that our athletes have in this pro-gram is what propels us to bigger and better times, heights and distances,” Fowler said. “There’s noth-ing 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 and closer to returning the Tide to its championship heritage. Talent, teamwork, deter-mination and heart are coming together, along with a generous helping of expert coaching pro-

vided by Fowler and her assistants Randy Hasen-bank and Scott Roberts. Over the last five seasons, during which the Tide produced 13 All-Americans, 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 How-ard to Alabama’s first individual hammer throw SEC Championship in school history. Under Fowl-er’s guidance, Howard improved her mark in the hammer throw by close to 40 feet from her fresh-man year to her sophomore year. Fowler’s lone NCAA Champion at Alabama was Beth Mallory in 2005 when she claimed the discus title, the first in school history. Mallory garnered six All-American honors in four years at Alabama in the discus (2003-06) and hammer throw (2004-05). Fowler’s success through the years has not gone unnoticed on the international level. She first got a taste for international coaching as an assis-tant coach at the 1990 Goodwill Games before also coaching as an assistant at the 1993 World Cham-pionships in Germany. Fowler served as an assis-tant 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. 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 Match in Scotland. In between international coaching jobs, Fowler has been a meet referee at the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials in New Orleans and served as the Supervisor of Sports Information for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. During the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, she coached at the USA Track and Field’s Elite Throw-ers Olympic Development Camp every summer. Before joining the staff at Alabama, she 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 Gator tenure.

Fowler’s penchant for success began with her days as a champion shot putter at Northeastern University. In addition to being a nine-time All-American, Fowler won the 1982 AIAW (the NCAA’s predecessor) Na-tional Outdoor title. She still holds the school records at Northeastern in the shot put (53-11) and discus (165-10). She graduated from Northeastern in 1983 with a Bachelor’s de-gree 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 squad as an alternate in the shot put. Even though the U.S. chose not to participate in the 1980 Olympics, Fowler still counts the experience as a positive one. “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 that I will never forget.” Fowler competed internationally for the U.S. at the 1981 World University Games in Romania and at the 1981 Pan Pacific Games in New Zealand. She also participated in the 1981 and 1982 USA vs. Rus-sia meets held in Leningrad, USSR and Indianapo-lis, Ind. respectively. In February of 2007, Fowler was inducted in the Massachusetts State Track Coaches Association Athlete Hall of Fame. She was born in Brookline, Mass. which is located in the Boston area. She is married to Cleon Fowler, who owns and operates a sports computer-based timing and data business of international repute. The couple has a dog, Mercury, and a cat, Shadow.

Randy Hasenbank is entering his fourth season as head cross country and assistant track coach for the Alabama women’s team. 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. In Hasenbank’s four seasons at the helm of the women’s cross country team, he has had at least one NCAA All-South Region performer in his four years including freshmen Sara Vaughn and Kelsey Johnson. Hasenbank has guided three freshmen (Haley Moody, Vaughn and Johnson) to a spot on the All-SEC team. 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. In the spring of 2008, Hasenbank added eight-time junior college National Champion, Betty Rot-ich to the squad. Betty made an immediate impact to the Crimson Tide garnering All-SEC honors in the indoor 5,000m and outdoor 10,000m. In ad-dition, Rotich became the first distance runner to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships since 2000. Over the past two years (2008, ‘09), Hasenbank has guided the Tide to its most successful back-to-back cross country seasons in the past decade. It started in 2008 during which Hasenbank coached the squad to its highest finish since 2000 at both the SEC and South Region Championships, plac-ing seventh and eighth as a team, respectively. In that same season, he coached his second athlete, Vaughn, in four years to a NCAA Championship performance. He helped Vaughn and Johnson to the 2009 USA Junior National Cross Country Championships where Vaughn advanced to the IAAF Junior World Cross Country Championships. In 2009, Hasenbank led a team comprised of mostly underclassmen (11 of 15) to a fifth place fin-ish at the SEC Championships and a seventh place finish at the NCAA South Region Championships, again marking their highest finish at both meets since 2000. In just four years, Hasenbank has clearly begun to turn around the Alabama distance program. Since 2006, he has improved the team’s finish from ninth to fifth at the SEC Championships and 14th to seventh at the NCAA South Region Championships.

In the spring of 2009, Hasenbank coached freshmen Vaughn and Andrea Torske to the third and fifth all-time best performances in school his-tory in the 3,000m steeplechase. Fellow freshman Johnson qualified for the Mideast Region Champi-onships in the 1,500m and 5,000m. Hasenbank joined the Alabama staff following four years at Wichita State where he served as head coach of the men and women’s cross country teams and assistant coach for the track and field program. He led the Shockers to the 2005 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 Re-gional qualifying marks and nine NCAA qualifying marks. In addition, his athletes earned four NCAA All-American honors, the Midwest Regional Ath-lete 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 ef-fort in the event, which was good enough for No.

10 All-Time in U.S. history. 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. Randy and his wife, Lennis, reside in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Lennis teaches at Tuscaloosa County High School and has competed in five marathons.

Considered one of the leading sprint, hurdle and jumps authorities in the nation, Scott Roberts is entering his third season as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama. After just two sea-sons at the Capstone, he has produced several of the best athletes in Alabama school history with 12 top-five All-Time marks including four school records. In 2009 and just his second season, 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 champi-onship 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 100m hurdles and 400m hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. 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 to the Crim-son Tide in his first season where his athletes de-livered four school record performances, one SEC Champion, two All-SEC performers, one All-SEC Freshman performer, three All-Mideast Region performers, a 4x100m team garnering All-Mid-east Region honors and Trish Bartholomew who earned All-American honors for her performances, both indoors and outdoors, in the 400 meter dash where she finished second. While at Alabama, he coached hurdler Talaya Owens to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 400m 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 un-der two months. In addition, Roberts coached for-mer Crimson Tide All-American Trish Bartholomew of Grenada to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games as

well as the 2009 World Championships (Berlin) in the 400m dash. Roberts’ sprinters, hurdlers and multi-event student-athletes rewrote the Iowa State University record books setting 52 school records and per-sonal bests in over 430 separate events. Prior to his tenure at Iowa State, Roberts coached two Missouri Valley Conference Cham-pions 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, #1 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 Bach-elor’s degree in Education and Social Science/Coaching. While at Midland Lutheran, he qualified three times for the NAIA Track and Field Cham-

pionships. He was a member of the sixth place distance medley relay team at the 1990 National Championships earning All-American honors. Rob-erts set eight school records at Midland Lutheran, including the indoor and outdoor 400m dashes. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Spe-cialist and is a USATF Coaching Education Levels I and II Lead Instructor. Roberts is the author of two books: Progressions for Coaching the Sprints and Progressions for Coaching the Hurdles. He and his wife, Kris, are parents of two children, Courtney (11) and Zachary (8).

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 re-cruiting 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 mentor, 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 assis-tant 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 put-ting 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 actu-ally 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 4x100m 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 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 life-time.” 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.

P A U L I N E D A V I So l y m p I c n o t e

In addition to participating in five Olympics, Alabama’s Pau-line 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.

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 Champion-ship. 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 36 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 as-sistant 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, Al-abama 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 com-pete in track and field. Through 1991 there were 10 league schools, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Ten-nessee 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 de-termining the field of the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. There were four regions across the coun-try. Fields for the regional meets were composed of con-ference 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 re-lay event at the regional meets advanced to the national championship.
