Sategna resigns as Arkansas track assistant coach

FAYETTEVILLE — Mario Sategna has resigned as an assistant coach for the University of Arkansas men's track and field team.

"I appreciate Mario's contributions to our program and wish him the best moving forward," Razorbacks Coach Chris Bucknam said Wednesday.

Bucknam said Sategna left Arkansas after three years for personal reasons and that he didn't want to comment further.

Sategna was hired at Arkansas in July 2018 to coach the field events and decathletes after being fired as the head coach at Texas.

Sategna resigned at Arkansas effective May 19 — four days after the Razorbacks won the SEC Outdoor title —according to a letter he submitted to the UA athletic department and was obtained through a Freedom of Information request.
