The Razorbacks competed at last week’s Arkansas Spring Invitational where it picked up four event titles and six runner-up finishes to open the outdoor season.
“Coach Case is going to take the sprint crew to the Texas Relays and they’re going to do everything,” said assistant coach Travis Geopfert. “Kenzo did a great job this past weekend opening up in the 100 meter dash, but the relays are the main this down in Texas. We’ll have a couple open events. The main thing is that those guys are excited about competing and we’re trying to set them up and prepare and perform well at the home staff.”
Senior Kenzo Cotton was named the Southeastern Conference’s Co-Runner of the Week after leading the Razorbacks to wins in the 4-x-100 meter relay and the 4-x-400 meter relays to go along with a title of his own in the 100 meter dash at the Arkansas Spring Invitational. He heads into Texas Relays with a 10.12 in the 100 meter dash, the fastest time early in the NCAA outdoor season.
The 4-x-100 meter relay heads to Texas Relays in Austin, Texas with the fifth fastest time in the NCAA outdoor season with a time of 39.31 at the Arkansas Spring Invitational.
Gabe Moore will compete in the 110m Hurdles, 400m and discus throw at the Stanford Invitational as he gets ready to make his decathlon debut at the John McDonnell Invitational in two weeks.
“We are excited to take all the field events out there so,” said Geopfert. “But, we are going to shake the rust off and hopefully be ready to come back here for John McDonnell in two weeks and get some stuff done. And, then of course at Texas Relays Coach Case is going to take the sprinters down there and we are going to try and do everything. Just let those guys have some fun.”
