UA track teams host top tune-up

FAYETTEVILLE -- Track and field athletes representing 35 colleges across the country -- from Florida to Southern California and lots of states in between -- will burn rubber this weekend at the Tyson Invitational.

It's the last major regular-season meet before teams compete for indoor conference and national championships.

"I guess you could refer to it as the Indianapolis 500 time trials," said Chris Bucknam, coach of Arkansas' men's team. "Everybody's just trying to run their car as fast as they can."

Prime time for events at the Randal Tyson Track Center will be 4:30-6:30 p.
