FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas men's track and field coach Chris Bucknam and sprinter Jordan Anthony both received SEC Outdoor honors, the league announced Monday.

Bucknam was named the SEC Coach of the Year, and Anthony was named Runner of the Year. Both awards were voted on by the league's coaches.

Bucknam received the honor for the 34th time in his 17-year Arkansas career after leading the Razorbacks to their fifth consecutive conference outdoors title in May. It was Arkanas' 10th SEC outdoor championship under Bucknam.

Anthony became the Razorbacks' first outdoor conference runner of the year since Caleb Cross in 2012.
