Alabama distance runner Doris Lemngole set an NCAA collegiate record Sunday, winning the Burgess Family Foundation women’s 3,000 meters at the Millrose Games.

Lemngole crossed the finish line in 8:31.39, breaking the previous collegiate record and lowering her personal best by more than 10 seconds. The time also established a new Alabama school record.

Lemngole moved into contention late in the race, advancing from third place to first with approximately 200 meters remaining. She held the lead through the final stretch, finishing ahead of professional runner Hannah Nuttall, who placed second in 8:32.94, and BYU’s Jane Hedengren, who finished third in 8:34.98.

Her time surpassed the previous NCAA record of 8:35.20 set by NC State’s Katelyn Tuohy in 2023. It also improved upon Lemngole’s prior indoor 3,000-meter best of 8:41.83, recorded at last season’s David Hemery Valentine Invitational.

Sunday’s performance followed Lemngole’s 2026 indoor season debut at the Orange and Purple Invitational, where she broke the Alabama record in the women’s mile with a time of 4:32.69.

This Date in Alabama Crimson Tide History:

February 2, 1931: New head coach Frank Thomas welcomed 90 football candidates to his first spring practice session. Besides working on conditioning, Thomas began introducing the Notre Dame box formation the Crimson Tide would utilize in the fall. According to Thomas, the backs were awkward and ill-at-ease on the first day of practice.

Alabama Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

"George Wallace called Bryant weekly. The reason was he was scared that Bryant would run for governor, because he'd win. Auburn people would vote for him, too, so he'd not coach anymore."
Alabama offensive lineman John Hannah
