SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Arkansas advanced six through to the NCAA Championships on day two of the West Prelims at Hornet Stadium on the campus of Sacramento State University Friday night.

The Razorbacks will have a familiar trio at Mike A. Myers Stadium for the start of the women’s pole vault as Tori Hoggard, Lexi Jacobus and Desiree Freier all clinched spots to the championships clearing identical bars of 4.32m (14-2).

Rylee Robinson and Bailee McCorkle finished 29th and 32nd in the event each clearing 4.07m (13-4.25).

Kethlin Campbell will compete for an NCAA title as the sophomore clocked a time of 51.85 winning her heat to advance to the final site in Austin, Texas. Paris Peoples finished 14th in 52.83, and Morgan Burks-Magee took 18th in a season-best 52.99.

Kiara Parker will join Campbell in Austin as she advanced to the championships in the 100-meters. A USATF finalist from last year, Parker will have a shot at an NCAA title, punching her ticket with an auto-Q run of 11.34.

Tamara Kuykendall narrowly missed qualifying for the NCAA meet in the 100-meters running a lifetime-best of 11.45 to finish 15th-overall.

Devin Clark will return to the NCAA Championships in the steeplechase earning her spot with a lifetime-best performance that stands as the No. 2 mark in program history.

Clark finished with a time of 9:48.35 that was almost a full second PR for the senior from Spring Branch, Texas.

Arguably the best 100-meter hurdles duo in the nation, Arkansas’ Janeek Brown and Payton Chadwick advanced to the quarterfinal turning in the No. 1 and No. 2 times from the first round along the way.

Chadwick clocked 12.80 tying her lifetime-best mark while Brown ran a smooth 12.89 with both advancing with an auto-Q finish.

The hurdle duo returned to the track for first-round action in the deuce (200-meters) and found similar results as both advanced to the quarterfinal running times of 22.81 (Brown) and 23.39 (Chadwick).

Arkansas has qualified eight total athletes through to the final site thus far and will look to add to that total tomorrow as the Razorbacks have an entry in every event on the track tomorrow night.
