Stumbaugh thrives at UA after OU sojourn
FAYETTEVILLE -- Last year as a freshman at Oklahoma, Payton Stumbaugh sat in the Randal Tyson Track Center stands watching Arkansas' women's track and field team win the NCAA indoor national championship.
Stumbaugh didn't join in a Hog Call with the Razorbacks and their fans, but quietly celebrated.
"I was secretly cheering for Arkansas," said Stumbaugh, who won several 7A individual track titles at Springdale Har-Ber High School and was the state's three-time Gatorade Athlete of the Year. "I kind of already knew I wanted to be at Arkansas, and then being at the meet motivated me even more."
Stumbaugh said she couldn't help but feel envious of the Razorbacks.
