No. 21 Arkansas competes in Oklahoma State’s Weis-Crockett Invitational at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, racing over an 8,000m course that will host the NCAA Championships in November.
Finishing fourth among collegians in the Chile Pepper Festival 8,000m race, and sixth overall, earned Razorback Ben Shearer the SEC Freshman Runner of the Week accolade.
Arkansas totaled 61 points to win the 34th annual Chile Pepper Festival for the first time since 2018 as Razorback sophomore Patrick Kiprop led the squad with a runner-up finish in 23 minutes, 24.6 seconds over the 8,000m course at Agri Park on Friday afternoon.
