Arkansas placed 79 student-athletes on the 2023 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll as part of a total of 1,454 student-athletes in the Southeastern Conference.
No. 1 Arkansas set a record in terms of total entries for the 2023 NCAA Championships with 44. Starting on Wednesday the field of 48 in individual events at the NCAA West Preliminary rounds, hosted by Sacramento State, will start to be trimmed to 12 by Friday’s second rounds.
Razorbacks Jordan West and Wayne Pinnock each successfully defended SEC Outdoor titles in the shot put and long jump, respectively, on Friday during the second day of the conference meet held at Bernie Moore Stadium.
Jordan West won his second consecutive SEC shot put title at the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships, and this time it was for the University of Arkansas after the transfer from Tennessee finished first for the Vols last year.
A pair of meet records in the discus and shot put were bettered by Razorbacks Ralford Mullings and Rojé Stona on Friday at the John McDonnell Invitational. Mullings won the discus with a throw of 199 feet, 2 inches, while Stona set a career best of 65 feet, 10.5 inches in the shot put.
