FAYETTEVILLE — Facing a group of the nation’s best programs, including six top-10 teams, No. 2 Arkansas took first at the Razorback Invitational Saturday inside the Randal Tyson Track Center. 

“We had our senior leadership do a really nice job, even though they’re few in numbers,” said head coach Lance Harter. “They’re getting in to serve as the role model, and the youth is just following. By having those types of breakthroughs, the result it an overall great team performance.”

Sophomore Taylor Werner and junior Devin Clark were the only Razorbacks to take team titles on day two of the invitational, as Werner took the Mile while Clark laid claim to the 3,000 meters. Werner set a new personal record with a time of 4:39.52.

“She (Werner) is the constant competitor,” said Harter. “She has a very, very bright future in this business. To be so young and so bold is a unique combination.”

Other Notable Performances
Arkansas’ youth stepped up when needed most, as underclassmen combined for 10 top-10 finishes on Saturday, including sophomore Jada Baylark who broke her personal record in the 60-meters with a time of 7.24, finishing just behind LSU’s Kournie Johnson who finished at 7.18.

Senior Nikki Hiltz finished third in the 800-meters, while sophomore’s Carina Viljoen and Maddy Reed were the Razorbacks other top finishers, both placing fourth in the mile and 3,000-meters, respectively.

“The senior leadership creates the culture to the youth, that ‘hey, this is what is expected of you,” said Harter. “It makes everyone elevate. They’ve done a great job of keeping our youth and elevating them and helping them become a major factor at the Southeastern Conference Championships.”

Arkansas will head to the northeast next Friday and Saturday for the New York Armory in New York City.

World lead for Igbokwe in 400-meter at Razorback Invitational

FAYETTEVILLE — Seventh-ranked Arkansas closed out its stead at the Randal Tyson Track Center with several NCAA top-10 performances, including a world-leading 400-meter time by junior Obi Igbokwe.

A two-time national qualifier in the 400, Igbokwe took command of the two-lap sprint beating Southeastern Conference rivals Florida’s Kunle Fasasi and Texas A&M’s Mylik Kerley to the break. Igbokwe maintained his dominance on the field, distancing himself from his competition over the final 150-meters of the race, finishing in first-place with a PR, NCAA-leading and world-leading time of 45.72.

“He’s been working hard since we got back to school in September,” head coach Chris Bucknam said. “I’m really happy for Obi and I think there’s a lot more left in the tank. I’m proud of his effort after a tough, three-week stretch of training and starting the indoor season.”

Arkansas finished eighth in the team standings, scoring 45 points in the 11-team competition.

“It’s good thing for us to see there are a lot of good teams out there and if we’re going to win meets like this or the SEC Championships, we have to have all hands on deck,” Bucknam said. “We’re probably around 60 percent right now based on injuries, sickness and some cautious decisions with where we are racing three weeks in a row. We don’t like losing meets but it’s a good wake-up call for us to say ‘if we don’t have all hands on deck, we’re an average team.’ We have to get things together over the next month and we have a nice two-week stretch with no meets, which we really need right now.”

Off the track two-time combined events All-American Gabe Moore, earned a spot on the NCAA leader boards as the fifth-best heptathlete in the country with a PR of 5,777 points. Moore was powered to his improved score off a solid day one, which saw him jump to a personal best in the high jump and match his 60-meter PR of 7.02. He returned strong on day two, placing in the top-four in the remaining three events of the day, including a first-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles. He remains the third-best heptathlete in Razorback history.

“That’s another personal best and just the tip of the iceberg for Gabe,” Bucknam said. “If you talk to him, there are a lot of places where he think he can improve. He’s made huge gains in the pole vault and hurdles from last year to this year and those are two pretty tough events in the multis. It’s just a sign of things to come when he really puts it together.”

Arkansas will break from competition next weekend, returning to the oval Feb. 9-10 at the Randal Tyson Track Center as the hosts of the Tyson Invitational.

“Even in training I could see we were starting to get polished,” said coach Mark Cook. “We just have to get in that zone a little bit more. We were close to it tonight, but owning some of those landings. We’re not quite there, but we’re moving in that direction.”

The win was the first of the season for the Razorbacks and just the third time in program history Arkansas has beaten the Bulldogs.

First Rotation: Georgia Bars: 49.175, Arkansas Vault: 49.100
Led by freshman Sarah Shaffer, who scored a 9.875 and tied her career high on any event, the Razorbacks trailed by the slimmest of margins after the first rotation.

The score of 49.425 on beam was the second best beam score in team history.

“We’ve been practicing it,” said Carter. “My coaches have been telling me, just do what you can do and go out there and be you. I was just happy to go out there and deliver and do that tonight.”

Fourth Rotation: Arkansas Floor: 49.475 Georgia Beam: 48.975
Arkansas secured the victory and its first score over 197 since 2016 on the floor. All six athletes posted scores over 9.800 as Carter led the Razorback on her second-consecutive event with a 9.950. Shaffer recorded a 9.900 while Yamzon, Burton and sophomore Hailey Garner all tallied 9.875’s to lead the Razorbacks to a final score of 197.175, its seventh score over 197 in program history.

“All season we’ve been talking about just being us out there and doing what we do,” said Carter. “We knew we could do this. Each performance everyone went out there and knew they could do their best and we got that 197.”

Among all-around performers, Yamzon posted a score of 39.425 while Shaffer recorded a 39.350 as both broke their career highs.

Ayumi Macias and Peyton Palsha were very dependable getting a win and second each in the 1000 and 500 free and then also, Kiera Michailoff-Russell and Annah Carney each winning the 50 and 100 free helped set up  for the win.

“I thought the perfect finish was senior team captain Chelsea Tatlow’s come from behind win in the last relay.”

Brooks scored 4,395 points in the pentathlon, besting the previous NCAA leader by a 174-point margin to take over at the top of national leader boards.

Speed and Power

A two-time national runner-up in the pentathlon, Taliyah Brooks took control of the Razorback Invitational combined events, winning three (60-meter hurdles, high jump and long jump) out of the five events and placing no lower than fourth in the other two (shot put and 800 meters).

Brooks opened the day tying teammate Payton Chadwick’s hurdles record off an 8.09 PR performance.

She picked up another PR in the shot put with a heave of 12.36m/40-6 3/4 before closing out the night scoring 711 points in the 800.

Payton PR

Springdale native Payton Chadwick wrapped up the day for the Razorbacks placing second in the 200 off a PR performance of 22.99.

Chadwick currently ranks at No. 2 in the NCAA in the event and is one of only three Razorbacks to ever clock a sub-23 second 200, joining the elite company of Veronica Campbell-Brown (22.43, 2004) and Taylor Ellis-Watson (22.99, 2016).

Arkansas gives Anderson extension through 2022

Mike Anderson will be Arkansas’ basketball coach for at least four more years.

Anderson’s contract was extended two years through the 2021-22 season and his pay was increased to $2.35 million per year, according to an announcement from the UA.

He is eligible for up to $1 million per year in academic and athletic-based bonuses.

Anderson previously was under contract through March 2020 at an annual salary of $2,250,800. Buyout terms have not changed and both Anderson and the university would have to pay $1 million to terminate the contract for its duration.

Read Anderson’s contract extension

Anderson signed the contract extension Nov. 22, 2017, but it was not finalized until a meeting of the university’s board of trustees on Thursday.

“I am appreciative of this meaningful expression of support for the continued direction of the Razorback men’s basketball program,” Anderson said in a statement. “Our entire staff and our student-athletes are committed to competing and winning in the Southeastern Conference and nationally.

“We are also making a difference in helping mold young men and pointing them toward their college degree. We have made significant progress, but we still have work left to do. I’m confident, with the passionate support of the Razorback fans, we can reach our goals.”

Anderson is 142-80 in his seventh season as the Razorbacks’ head coach. Arkansas has a 14-6 overall record and 4-4 SEC record entering Saturday’s nonconference game against Oklahoma State.

The contract extension is Anderson’s third since he was hired away from Missouri in March 2011. Anderson last signed a contract extension in January 2015, which extended his employment by two years.

Since then Arkansas has gone to the second round of the NCAA Tournament twice and finished SEC Tournament runner-up twice, in 2015 and 2017.

Anderson’s 27 wins in 2015 were the Razorbacks’ most since the 1995 team won 32 games and finished national runner-up. Arkansas won 26 games last season.

“We began discussions with Coach Anderson about an extension in April following the NCAA Tournament, including our tightly contested matchup with eventual national champion North Carolina,” Jon Fagg, senior associate athletic director and basketball sport administrator said. “Razorback men’s basketball is on the rise. Our team is among the best in the SEC this season and the upcoming recruiting classes are among the best in program history. We are excited about the future and partnering with Coach Anderson and his staff as we take our program to new heights.”

Anderson is in his 16th season as a head coach and has a career record of 342-178 in stints at Arkansas, Missouri and Alabama-Birmingham. He spent 17 seasons as an assistant coach at Arkansas from 1985-2002.
