Tuscaloosa, AL MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The No. 23 Alabama men's cross country team opened the season with a meet win under the lights on Saturday night, while the No. 13 women's squad finished second at the Memphis Twilight. The UA women tallied 84 points to claim the second-place spot, led by Keaton Morrison, who clocked a ninth-place, 18:53.09 finish over the 5,000-meter course. The men would close the season-opening meet with a 60-point performance to claim the meet win. Head Coach Dan Waters Said: "Overall, it was a very successful day for both teams. To have our women finish second and our men to close us out with the win is a very nice way to open the season. Everyone in our lineup had the chance to go out and compete. While it's a great place for us to start, it's even more important that we continue to build meet by meet so that we're ready for the postseason in a couple months." Crimson Tide Top Finishes: Keaton Morrison (ninth), Leah Kleekamp (10th) and Farrah Frith (11th) all clocked top-15 finishes en route to the team's second-place finish of 84 points. Autumn Headrick (20th) and Elizaeth Robertson (34th) rounded out the Crimson Tide's scoring five. Ethan Lemons (sixth), Jackson Harris (seventh) and Arthur Graham (ninth) all secured top-10 finishes to help propel the Tide to its first-place, team finish. Will Douglas (16th) and Charlie Rogers (22nd) rounded out Alabama's scoring five.
