Three of the eight finalists in the 400-meter have Alabama Crimson Tide roots.
History was made in the men's 400-meter semifinal at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Tuesday as all three current and former Alabama track and field standouts advanced to the Final after qualifying in their respective heats.
Trinidad and Tobago's Jereem Richards, who was a member of the Crimson Tide track and field team in 2016-17, advanced to the Final after being the second runner to cross the finish line in the first heat as he clocked a time of 44.33 seconds. Grenada's Kirani James, who was a member of the Crimson Tide track and field team in 2010 and 2011, advanced to the Final after crossing the finish line before anyone else in the second heat as he clocked a time of 43.78, which ended up being the best time when combing each heat.
