📈 STOCK UP

🔺 For the first time since 2016, Arkansas has won the NCAA Outdoor long jump. No. 1 Arkansas track and field scored 18 of its 21 points yesterday in the event at the NCAA Outdoor Championships (21 points currently leads the field!). Carey McLeod, who won gold at the indoor Championships as well, is the sixth Razorback to earn the gold medal in the event in the Outdoor Championships, while 2022 champion Wayne Pinnock claimed the program’s sixth silver medal.

The Razorback foursome of Lance Lang, James Benson II, Connor Washington, and Chris Bailey also advanced to the final in the 4 x 400 relay with a semifinal heat winning time of 3:00.97. James ended up with the fastest leg at 44.11 seconds.

🔺 Killa Kam. We’re now 87 days from the start of Arkansas’ football season. Kamron Bibby wears the the No. 87 jersey for the Hogs and will look to contribute this season after redshirting his freshman year. Kamron had 40 catches for more than 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns in 2021 at El Dorado High School when they won the Class 6A State Championship. He was also a walk-on who chose Arkansas in part because of the engineering school!

🔺 Join The Cause. Razorback men’s golf has hired Adrien Mörk as the new associate head coach, announced by head coach Brad McMakin Wednesday. Mörk spent the past six years at TCU and has eight years of experience coaching collegiate golf. While with the Horned Frogs, he recruited Razorback All-American Mateo Fernandez de Oliveira.

🔺 Beginning Of The End. The ladies own the track today as No. 3 Arkansas looks to complete its own Indoor-Outdoor sweep for the 2023 season, and cap off a legendary coaching career for Lance Harter in style.
