Arkansas Finishes Third in USTFCCCA Program of the Year

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Coming off the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Austin, Texas where Arkansas captured the second NCAA Championship of 2019 and the fourth in program history, the Arkansas women’s team finished third in the Terry Crawford Women’s Program of the Year, announced Wednesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

The Terry Crawford Women’s Program of the Year Award is named after USTFCCCA Hall of Famer and former Cal Poly head coach Terry Crawford. Crawford won five NCAA National Championships, and over 20 Conference Championships. Her 1986 Texas squad remains as only one of two NCAA women’s programs to ever win the Triple Crown (cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field titles).

Arkansas finished third after winning national titles indoors and outdoors for its sixth top-three finish in the past seven years.
