🚨 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.
