The Hogs brought home their ninth national championship behind some dominating performances for four runners in the 400 and 4x400 relay at NCAA Outdoors.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It was the late, great Blackie Sherrod with The Dallas Times Herald that wrote one time, "the only sport more boring than track is field." For an overwhelming number of Arkansas Razorback fans that holds true, even with a logjam of national title trophies.
Now they have another one to add. After the men surprisingly stumbled last week and came in seventh, the women took care of business with some eye-opening and jaw-dropping performances in the quarter-mile. Now they call it the 400-meter and 4x400 relay or the 1,600-meter relay. Us oldtimers still call it the quarter-mile because it's a loop around the track. The quarter-mile relay was how we finished track meets back in junior high and high school in the 1960's and 70's.
"I’m fortunate right now," first-year coach Chris Johnson said on ESPN after winning. Amber Anning, Rosey Effiong, Nickisha Pryce and Kaylyn Brown ran a collegiate-record time of 3:17.96 winning the thing, but it was the way they finished it.
