Arkansas sending 22 athletes to Oregon

FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas Coach Lance Harter couldn’t have scripted a much better weekend for his women’s track and field team at the NCAA West Preliminaries.

“Fantastic meet overall,” Harter said. “Great, great weekend for us across the board.

“This meet is always scary to any coaching staff, because any time the starting gun goes off there’s a possibility of somebody making a mistake, a false start or just having an off day or whatever.

“But knock on wood, we went through the meet basically unblemished.”

The Razorbacks advanced 12 athletes in 10 events with 14 entries for the NCAA Championships, which will be held June 8-11 at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore.
