Achievements at Vanderbilt – Assistant Coach (2023–Present)
Alexander guided Vanderbilt student-athletes who broke one school record and notched 19 marks that ranked top 10 in Commodore history indoors and outdoors in 2025. At the SEC Indoor Championships, Alexander also tutored Allyria McBride, who helped the Dores score in the DMR for the second consecutive year and break the school record in the event. At the outdoor conference meet, the 4×400-meter relay and McBride (400mH) scored points for the Dores. McBride advanced to the NCAA East First Round in the 400-meter hurdles, where she recorded a personal best to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championship, eventually garnering first-team All-America honors.
In her first season at Vanderbilt, Alexander’s coaching efforts contributed to three qualifications for the NCAA East First Round and a bronze medal finish by the distance medley relay at the SEC Indoor Championships. She helped to coach McBride, who split 52.49 seconds in that DMR. Outdoors, McBride scored in the 400-meter hurdles at the SEC Championships and improved her third-ranked mark on Vandy’s all-time performers list. She qualified for the NCAA East First Round in the event and would go on to advance to the semifinals at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. With Alexander’s guidance, Haley Bishop improved her 200 meters time by more than a second over the course of the indoor and outdoor season and qualified for regionals in the event.
