UA to host some of U.S.' best jumpers

Related Topics: Arkansas, Marquis Dendy

FAYETTEVILLE -- If it only matched Arkansas' Jarrion Lawson vs. former Florida Gator Marquis Dendy, Friday's 6 p.m. men's long jump would be worth the price for the entire Tyson Invitational meet that the University of Arkansas hosts Friday and Saturday at the Randal Tyson Indoor Track.

But there's more to Friday's long jump. A lot more.

"It's insane," Travis Geopfert, the jumps coach for the Arkansas men's track and field team, said of Friday's long jump. "It's loaded."

Geopfert counted 10 among the pros and collegians in Friday's long jump soaring at 26 feet or better.
