Razorback Britton Wilson, who adorns the cover of Track & Field News magazine this month, repeated her 400m and 400m hurdles double from the SEC Championships, but did so in a shorter time frame between races to conclude the NCAA West preliminary rounds on Saturday with a pair of meet records.
Three Razorback pole vaulters advanced to Austin for the NCAA Championships while Arkansas qualified a total of 12 entries in four events for Saturday’s quarterfinals at Sacramento State on Thursday. Seven of those dozen entries were produced in the 400m.
Competition in the Arkansas Twilight on Friday at John McDonnell Field provided the Razorbacks an opportunity to improve marks in various events for upcoming postseason meets with the SEC Championships and NCAA West Preliminary next on the schedule.
A pair of additions to the Arkansas women’s track and field program, who will join the Razorbacks in January, are sprinter MeKenze Kelley and distance runner Laura Taborda.
