University of Arkansas freshman Phillip Lemonious took third in the 110-meter hurdles on Friday night at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore.
Lemonious’ time of 13.39 seconds ranks No. 2 on the Razorbacks’ all-time list behind Omar McLeod, the four-time NCAA champion and 2016 Olympic gold medalist for Jamaica who holds the Arkansas record of 12.97 he ran in 2015.
“I tried my best,” Lemonious said in a UA news release. “I came out here with a positive mindset. I knew what I was capable of doing here.
“I’m just a freshman, so I’m looking forward to become better.
