FAYETTEVILLE — Kiara Parker even surprised herself a little bit with her record-breaking performance Saturday afternoon.
The Arkansas senior turned in a time of 7.15 seconds to win the women’s 60 meters and break the meet record in that event during the Razorback Invitational in the Randal Tyson Track Center. Parker’s time eclipsed the previous mark of 7.17 set by Florida’s Shayla Sanders in 2016.
Parker’s record run came after she turned in the fastest time — 7.18 — during the preliminary heats. A pair of LSU runners, Sha’Carri Richardson and Kortnei Johnson, finished two-three at 7.
