Alabama DB Tony Brown to sprint at U.S. track championships tonight

Tuscaloosa – or London? Tony Brown’s time in the 100 meters tonight might determine where the Alabama defensive back spends the first week of August.

Brown races in the preliminary rounds of the men’s 100 on Thursday at the USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships in Sacramento, Calif. His ultimate goal: one of the three spots available on the United States team for the world championships in London, August 4 through 13.

Brown races in the opening heat at about 6:35 p.m. PDT, or 8:35 in Tuscaloosa. USATF organizers have adjusted the schedule to adapt to unseasonably hot temperatures in Sacramento.
