FAYETTEVILLE -- Kelsey Herman was exhausted, but ecstatic.
A year after Herman missed the track and field season because of stress fractures in both shins, the University of Arkansas senior from Crossett won the pentathlon Friday night at the SEC Indoor Championships at the Randal Tyson Center.
Herman won with a personal-best 4,330 points to edge Georgia sophomore Aliyah Whisby, who was second with 4,305.
"It feels amazing," Herman said. "I've been waiting on this day since my freshman year competing with some of the best athletes in the SEC. Now being able to have my chance to do it, it's so good.
