UALR flag flies on Kilimanjaro

At the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro -- 19,341 feet above sea level -- the air is thin. At the literal and figurative peak of a six-day, round-trip journey, climbers are advised to spend no more than 20 minutes atop the volcano.

But before she could begin her descent, University of Arkansas at Little Rock women's golf coach Jenna Wylie removed a maroon and silver flag from her daypack and posed for one last photo at the top.

Against the insistence of her guides, more than 8,500 miles from Little Rock, Wylie had to represent the Trojans.

"They don't want us up there that long because of the oxygen," Wylie said.
