FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas begins its outdoor campaign this weekend with the Arkansas Spring Invitational at John McDonnell Field.

The hammer throw will be contested Friday at 3:30 p.m. CT with the remaining events slated for Saturday afternoon.

Tickets for the Arkansas Spring Invitational are $5 for adults with free admission for fans 17 years and younger.

Tickets are sold at the northwest entrance (corner of Razorback Road and Meadow Street) of John McDonnell Field. Saturday’s field events start at 11:30 a.m. with running events beginning at 3 p.m.

Indoor All-Americans Kenzo Cotton, Obi Igbokwe, Gabe Moore, Kemar Mowatt and Jamarco Stephen are all scheduled to compete Saturday.

During the indoor season, Cotton secured his first individual SEC crown by winning the program’s first-ever title at 60 meters.

Mowatt, the school-record holder in the 400-meter hurdles, will open his outdoor season with a run through the 110-meter hurdles.

This weekend’s 15-team field will include conference mate Missouri and Big 12 foes No. 10 Kansas and Oklahoma State

The Arkansas Spring Invitational is the first of four outdoor home meets for the Razorbacks who are also set to host the John McDonnell Invitational (April 13-14), National Relay Championships (April 27-28) and Arkansas Twilight (May 4).

By way of its national performances during the cross country and indoor seasons, Arkansas is currently second in the John McDonnell Program of the Year standings.

The Razorbacks are the reigning Program of the Year winners and are in the hunt for their third such title overall.

The team also won the honor for their performance during the 2012-13 season.
