Alabama rowing senior Keilani Hamann was one of 1,500 students from across the country to participate in the National Retail Federation Big Show in New York City, N.Y. earlier this month. “Attending the NRF Student Big Show was such a rewarding experience to be able to learn from some of the industry’s top leaders,” Hamann said. I’m hoping to be able to transfer over what I learned at the conference to my current career as a student-athlete and my career post-graduation.”
- On a fun note regarding basketball, the Alabama men's basketball managers amateur team is now on a three-game win streak, beating the managers of Kentucky, Auburn and now Missouri. The managing staff of the Crimson Tide travel with the program and play against opposing training staffs in the SEC while on their trips and are a lot of fun to keep track of.
