COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The SEC champion Arkansas Razorbacks saved their best for the end of the men's NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Clive Pullen jumped 55-3¾ to win the triple jump championship Saturday at Texas A&M's Gilliam Indoor Track Center. Pullen had gone far enough to win the event on his first attempt, 55-2¼, but had his best jump on his final try.
The 2016 Jamaican Olympian had finished second to Florida's KeAndre Bates at the SEC indoor meet but never gave Bates a chance Saturday in defending his national championship in the event.
The Razorbacks also won a competitive second heat in the 1,600 relay, but finished third overall when host Texas A&M rallied past Florida to win the race and the championship.
