LUBBOCK, Texas – Alabama track and field wrapped up the indoor regular season on Saturday evening at the Texas Tech Shootout and Vanderbilt Music City Invite. The Crimson Tide picked up two wins during the meet while ten UA student-athletes posted personal bests.

Dunning broke his own personal best that he set earlier today in the first round. That time also puts him at second in the SEC and the No. 4 performer in the NCAA this season.
