Alabama freshman Alexander Osayemi from Clayton ran an indoor PR Friday at the Orange and Purple Invitational at Clemson, clocking 47.20 and placing 9th overall in a loaded field.
That’s 3rd-fastest among all NCAA Division 1 freshmen.
Osayemi won the Meet of Champions with a 46.08 last spring, but his previous indoor PR was a 48.57 when he was 4th at the indoor Meet of Champions this past March at Ocean Breeze.
This was his first collegiate 400.
Osayemi’s time is 10th-fastest in the SEC this year but 2nd-fastest among freshmen, behind Georgia’s Jonathan Simms, who ran 44.62 last week at Clemson. That’s 4th-fastest ever indoors and an Under-20 world record.
