TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The honors continue to pour in for the Alabama cross country program from both the course and the classroom.
The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named the Crimson Tide’s Mercy Chelangat the Cross Country National Scholar-Athlete of the Year

She is the first Crimson Tide student-athlete in program history to earn this honor and is just the second in history from the Southeastern Conference.
