Throughout the 2015-16 academic year, our student-athletes, coaches and staff strove for greatness each and every day, which led to championships, both team and individual, and inspired performances in all areas of the collegiate experience. It all started in the fall as our football team battled their way into the second College Football Playoff, becoming the only team to play in both years of the new system, and winning our 25th Southeastern Conference football title along the way. Our men followed their SEC title with a dominating win in the CFP semifi nals over Michigan State and fi nished things off with an instant classic against Clemson, closing out the Tigers 45-40, to earn our fourth national football championship in the past seven seasons. It was also our 10th national title in fi ve different sports since the fall of 2009. We went on to earn a trio of top-10 NCAA fi nishes over the winter and spring, including men’s swimming and diving, gymnastics and softball. Our women’s golf team also won their third SEC championship since 2010. In all, four of our programs fi nished in the top 10 – football (1st, our 16th national football title), gymnastics (3rd, marking an NCAA-best 23rd top-3 fi nish), men’s swimming and diving (6th, our highest NCAA fi nish since 1983) and softball (6th, after earning our 11th Women’s College World Series berth). We had three additional teams earn top-25 fi nishes, with women’s golf fi nishing 12th and men’s golf taking 23rd while women’s track and fi eld fi nished 17th at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Individually, our student-athletes continue to rank among the nation’s very best. Derrick Henry became our second Heisman Trophy winner in LIVING addition to earning a slew of national and conference honors. Quanesha Burks won her second NCAA long jump title while Connor Oslin, Pavel Romanov, Luke Kaliszak and Kristian Gkolomeev combined to win the NCAA 200 medley relay, the fi rst swimming relay title in school history. Katie Bailey fi nished off her junior season by winning our 26th individual NCAA gymnastics title, taking top honors on the vault. OUR Our men and women also shone brightly in the classroom. We became the fi rst school in the history of the award to earn Academic All-American of the Year honors in three different sports with Haylie McCleney (softball) earning her second such honor and Lauren Beers (gymnastics) and Anton McKee (swimming and diving) earning the honor for the women’s and men’s at-large teams. Those three were joined by seven additional Crimson Tide Academic All-Americans in 2015-16, giving us double-digit honorees in back-to-back-to-back years as well as the best three-year total among all MISSION Division I programs! There are countless factors that go into The University of Alabama Athletics Department’s ongoing tradition Haylie was also the SEC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year and the Senior CLASS Award winner for softball while Lauren was the SEC Community of excellence and our legacy of champions, but at the end Service Leader of the Year and earned her third consecutive NCAA Elite 90 Award. of the day, our success is built on the foundation of our continuing mission to: We accomplished all this and so much more while staying true to our ongoing mission of recruiting and developing student-athletes to compete at • Recruit and develop student- the highest levels in intercollegiate athletics; educating and preparing our student-athletes to compete at the highest levels in life after graduation; and athletes to compete at the accomplishing all this with honor and integrity. highest levels in intercollegiate Our student-athletes are able to reach the heights they do because they are not only supported by the best coaches and staff in the nation, but also by athletics; our legendary fans.

That type of support is crucial to our success and we need everyone’s help in maintain our edge in this area. • Accomplish all this with honor It is an amazing gift to be a part of the Crimson Tide at this extraordinary point in our history, and it’s one that I don’t take for granted. I am moved and integrity. beyond words at the amazing pride our entire department and all those who follow the Crimson Tide have in the hard work, dedication and fi erce There are no shortcuts when it comes to building a determination our student-athletes pour into their efforts to lead the way athletically, academically and in the community. championship program, but for the Crimson Tide, the road map is clear cut. All this is why, as proud as I am of what we have accomplished, I can’t wait to see what is next for Alabama. I hope everyone who is a part of our singular legacy of champions and tradition of excellence will join together in keeping us moving in the right direction, because as I’ve said many -Bill Battle times, a rising tide lifts all ships!

  • This Is Nebraska 14 2017-18 Nebraska Women's Basketball Welcome to Nebraska Home of the Huskers
    MADDIE SIMON THIS IS NEBRASKA 14 2017-18 NEBRASKA WOMEN'S BASKETBALL WELCOME TO NEBRASKA HOME OF THE HUSKERS Nebraska women's basketball has established itself as one of the nation's steadiest and most successful programs on the court, in the classroom and in the community over the last 20 years. During that 20-year span, which dates to first-year Coach Amy Williams' playing career at Nebraska, the Huskers have advanced to postseason play 14 times, including 10 trips to the NCAA Tournament. Since 2010, Nebraska has made five NCAA Tournament appearances, including two trips to the NCAA Sweet 16 (2010, 2013). The Huskers have also finished among the top 25 in the final national rankings four times, while posting the four highest victory totals in school history (2010-32, 2012-24, 2013-25, 2014-26). Over the past eight seasons, Nebraska has played five games for a conference title, winning a Big Ten Tournament crown in 2014 and a Big 12 regular- season championship in 2010. The Huskers, who moved into a spacious practice home at the Hendricks Training Complex in the fall of 2011, built more excitement by adding Pinnacle Bank Arena as their new home court in 2013-14. The Big Red have ranked among the nation's top 20 in attendance in each of their first four seasons at Pinnacle Bank Arena, averaging more than 90,000 fans per season. Individually, Kelsey Griffin, Lindsey Moore and Jordan Hooper were chosen among the top 15 players in their respective WNBA Drafts, while Hooper and Griffin earned first-team All-America honors for the Huskers.
