🚨 BREAKING: Alabama's Doris Lemngole, who initially won the women's 5k title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, has been DISQUALIFIED for apparently taking 2 steps over the rail. 😳 Alabama appealed the DQ, but the protest was ultimately upheld. In a brief statement to the media, Lemngole said, "it is what it is," and that she is proud of her career.

You just gotta Love it ❤️ BYU’s Taylor Lovell puts the hurt on the field over the final lap, eventually pulling away to win the NCAA women’s 3000mSC title in 9:21.03. Lovell’s 61-second close put her 5.5 seconds ahead of her next closest competitor, Notre Dame’s Sophie Novak.

This would be like Montana State winning the CFP, right? (I’m kidding, but actually only a little because CONCACAF…)
The USA winning the World Cup would be what in college football terms?

OK, it's an NIT team.
