Two freshmen won their respective events’ prelims

Track is a sport in which the slightest of measurements differentiate between glory and shame.
The track gods smiled down on sophomore Tyler Davis as he earned the final spot for the finals in the 60m. At the end of the third heat, the eighth slowest time was 6.78. Beat that and you’re into the finals. As Davis crossed the finish line, the clock read 6.78.
When this happens at a meet, officials have to review the footage to determine who won. After review, it was determined that Davis ran a 6.774, 6/1000th of a second faster than the previous occupant of the final spot. A birth in the finals was secured.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The second day of the Tyson Invitational provided more superlatives from the No. 1 Razorbacks as they claimed a fifth consecutive team victory this indoor season while the highlight performance was a school record in the mile by Krissy Gear.
Facing a field of nationally ranked teams, the Razorbacks produced another dominant team victory with 140 points, as Alabama (64) and Oregon (62) battled for the runner-up position. The rest of the field included Texas A&M (52), Texas (51), Florida (49), Florida State (42), and LSU (28).
“We’re super elated,” said Razorback women’s head coach Lance Harter. “We ran our DMR to get it qualified last night, so Krissy Gear came back in the mile today and rewrote the record book with a 4:31. She just did a fantastic job.
