Events To Watch

100 Meter Dash
Entries: Jada Baylark, Janeek Brown, Morgan Burks Magee, Tamara Kuykendall, Kiara Parker

Baylark holds the No. 9 time in the country in the 100 Meter Dash this season, clocking in a time of 11.09 at the Texas Relays on March 28.

Baylark has been stellar in the race all season, but has not been able to record wind legal times since the relays in Austin, Texas.

The Razorbacks hold two more top-48 times, with Kiara Parker and Janeek Brown clocking the 28th and 43rd best times, respectively.

200 Meter Dash
Entries: Morgan Burks Magee, Sydney Davis, Tamara Kuykendall

Baylark again leads the Razorbacks in the 200 meter dash, recording a season best time of 23.00 at the LSU Alumni gold meet two weeks ago.

Parker’s time at the Arkansas Spring Invitational ranks 79th nationally, as she will look to shave off some time to place in the top-48 to qualify for the NCAA Prelims.

1,500 Meter Run
Arkansas Twilight Entries: Kristen Larkan, Alex Ritchey, Greta Taylor, Ruth Wiggins
Payton Jordan Entries: Devin Clark, Carina Viljoen

Head coach Lance Harter will send his top two runners in the 1,500 Meter Run to the Payton Jordan Invite at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

Viljoen ranks comfortably in top-20 nationally with the 16th-best time of 4:16.07, while Clark will look to improve of her time of 4:21.21 recorded at the Stanford Invitational in March.
