Alabama Adds All-SEC Honors to Men’s and Women’s 2022 SEC Cross Country Titles
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The 2022 Southeastern Conference Champion Alabama men's and women's teams earned seven First Team All-SEC honors to go with a pair of SEC All-Freshman honorees, the league office announced Tuesday.
Fully half of the first-team honors were collected by Alabama, including four women and three men. The 2022 individual SEC champion, Victor Kiprop, was joined on the men's first-team list by Hillary Cheruiyot and Eliud Kipsang. On the women's side of the slate, Alabama put four on the first team, including Mercy Chelangat, Hilda Olemomoi, Amaris Tyynismaa and Flomena Asekol.
Olemomoi and Will Pinson also earned SEC All-Freshman honors.
The Crimson Tide's All-SEC honors come on the heels of Alabama becoming first school outside of Arkansas to win both the men's and women's team titles in the same year since 1992. Alabama not only equaled the number of first-team honorees from all the other schools combined, but also led the league in combined first and second-team honors.
