Jeff Henderson and Jarrion Lawson turned the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials long jump into the Arkansas Invitational Sunday night in Eugene, Ore.
Henderson, who was born in North Little Rock and attended Sylvan Hills High School, won his second U.S. title by going a slightly wind-aided 28-2 1/4 to edge Lawson, a three-time NCAA long champion for the Arkansas Razorbacks, as both qualified for their first Olympic team in Rio de Janeiro.
Lawson, a senior this year who was a 19-time All-American at Arkansas in the long jump and sprints, went a personal-best 28-1 3/4 to finish a half-inch behind Henderson.
