NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP REPEATS 🔁
The Razorbacks have five athletes returning to the NCAA Championships in individual events after competing in the NCAA Indoor Championships this past March in College Station, Texas.
Nikki Hiltz qualifies for the outdoor championships following an indoor season that saw the senior grab All-American honors, finishing third in the Mile in a time of 4:32.59. At last year’s NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Hiltz finished runner-up in the 1,500-meters (4:13.80) and enters this year’s championships chasing that elusive NCAA Championship in the same event.
Janeek Brown looks to improve during her second NCAA championships this season after posting an eighth-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles during the indoor championships this past March. Brown recorded a time of 12.90w at the NCAA West Preliminary to punch her ticket to Eugene. At the SEC Outdoor championships, Brown posted a personal-best time of 12.84 in a third-place finish – the No. 2 time in program history.
Jada Baylark will make her second outdoor championships appearance in the 100-meters after finishing first at the NCAA West Prelims running a personal-best and school record time of 11.04. Her time of 11.04 seconds broke the 14-year-old Arkansas record held by Olympic Champion Veronica Campbell-Brown. Baylark finished 15h in the 60-meters at the indoor championships this past March in College Station, Texas.
Lexi Jacobus and Tori Hoggard return to the outdoor championships in the pole vault after finishing as the national champion and national runner-up at indoor championships this past March in College Station, Texas. Both Jacobus and Hoggard punched their ticket to the NCAA outdoor meet by clearing 4.18m (13′-8.50″) at the NCAA West Prelims in Sacramento, Calif. Jacobus was the NCAA runner-up at last year’s championships while sister Tori [Hoggard] was the sixth-place finisher in 2017.
