Year of the Razorback: Top 10 NCAA Finishes
When it came to competing for national championships in 2020-21, Arkansas was among the nation’s elite all-sports programs. In nearly half of its sports, the Razorbacks finished among the top 10 in NCAA postseason play.
The Razorback women’s indoor track and field team led the way, defending their 2019 crown and capturing the sixth overall NCAA championship for the women’s program in early March at the Randal Tyson Track Center.
Later that month, the men’s cross country team earned a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championship on its way to clinching the prestigious United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCA) John McDonnell Program of the Year award.
The men’s basketball team captured the imagination of the state and Razorbacks everywhere by advancing to the Elite Eight in the Big Dance for the first time in more than 25 years. A trio of trips to the Sweet Sixteen in Baseball, Softball and Soccer and additional top-10 finishes in men’s indoor track and field and women’s cross country helped cap an extraordinary year.
