🔺 Three Of A Kind. Arkansas track & field is now the first men’s program to have three athletes make the preseason Bowerman watch list as senior Romaine Beckford, sophomore Jaydon Hibbert, and junior Wayne Pinnock have all made the 2024 edition. The Razorback trio of jumpers combined for six titles and 73 points in NCAA Championships over the past two years, and all three claimed a title at the 2023 Jamaica Championships in their respective events–high jump for Romaine, triple jump for Jaydon, and long jump for Wayne.

Jaydon is the reigning champion and took home the award last month. You can watch exclusive behind the scenes content from that historic night only on Hogs+.
