Doris Lemngole has been nothing short of a superstar in the 2024-25 season and most recently she was named USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week. On Saturday, her performance at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener in Boston was legendary, as she broke the women’s 5,000-meter NCAA record.

Saturday’s meet was the first track and field/cross country meet of the indoor season. Lemngole finished 0.27 seconds ahead of second-place finisher and former Alabama star Hilda Olemomoi. Lemngole broke the previous record by 0.22 seconds.

Lemngole’s USTFCCCA honor is noted as her second weekly national honor in the past five weeks along with her third in the 2024 calendar year.

Lemngole was not the only Alabama runner to break a record. On the men’s team, Victor Kiprop broke his own school record for his performance in the men’s 5,000 meters.

“I couldn't be prouder of Doris for breaking the collegiate record, and her school record, as well as Victor for shortening his school record," Alabama head coach Dan Waters said in a press release. "This is a great starting point that our program can build off of, and we look forward to resuming our season next month in Birmingham for the Harvey Glance Tide and Tigers Dual Meet against our in-state rival, Auburn."
