Crimson White TUESDAY OCTOBER 1, 2013 VOLUME 120 ISSUE 33 Serving The University of Alabama since 1894 SPORTS | STUDENT FEATURE LIFE IN THE FAST LANE 2012 gold medalist returns to UA campus By Charlie Potter | Assistant Sports Editor irani James sits in the lobby of Gorgas Library, the bill of his hat shielding his eyes, as people hurry by him without Ka moment’s hesitation. James, 21, was a member of The University of Alabama’s track and field team from 2009-10. But his rise to fame came after winning gold medals in the men’s 400-meter at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, and the 2012 Olympic Games in London. The Olympic triumph was the first medal of any kind for his home country of Grenada. Now, the reigning Olympic champion is back in Tuscaloosa as a part-time junior, majoring in general business, trying to com- plete his degree at the University. Fellow students don’t realize a professional athlete is taking a break between classes, just like them. James likes it that way. “It’s a nice, laid-back place where I can just sit back and relax, focus on what I have to do,” James said. “It’s just a good training environment and a good environment for me to grow in, in terms of my career and also as a person.” Casey Jones, a tax analyst at the University, works with inter- national students and has known James since he arrived at the Capstone.

The President. Everybody, have a seat. Have a seat here. It is a great pleasure to welcome the Alabama Crimson Tide to the White House again. I want to congratulate them on winning their 15th national championship and their third in 4 years. They are starting to learn their way around the White House. [Laughter] I was thinking about just having some cots for them here, they're here so often, except we couldn't find any that were big enough. [Laughter] Now, before I begin, I want to extend sympathies to the family of Mal Moore, who passed away last month, after a career that spanned six decades as a player, a coach, and athletic director at Alabama. Mal did more than just about anybody to make this program what it is today. Our prayers go out to all the members of the Alabama community who knew him and loved him. Now, last year obviously also had a lot of bright spots for the Crimson Tide. From the beginning of spring practice, the best teams in the country had one goal, and that was to try to at least be as good, if not better, than Alabama. But the Tide kept on rising to the occasion, and they never let up. Back in January, with the whole country watching, this team lined up against the number- one ranked, undefeated Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and dominated from the first possession.
