FAYETTEVILLE — The outdoor regular season came to an end at John McDonnell Field as Arkansas set multiple personal records as they prep to head to Knoxville for the SEC Outdoor Championships next weekend.

The Razorbacks placed eight in the top-eight spots in the 100-meter dash, as Jada Baylark was able to secure her first wind-legal time since the Texas Relays, finishing first with a time of 11.40.

Baylark tied the school record in the season opener with a time of 11.10.

In the 400-meter run, Morgan Burks Magee set a personal best time of 23.81.

Arkansas set three additional personal bests in running events, as Alex Ritchey finished the 1,500-meter run in 4:37.46, Sydney Hammit ended the 400 meters in 55.00 and Payton Brown finished fifth in the 3,000-meters at 10:30.05.

All four runners finished in the top-10 in their respective races.

In the field events, Riley Hoogerwerf finished third in the discus throw with a distance of 39.09m (128′-3″), while Genna Potter cleared 3.54m (11′-7.25″) in the pole vault, each setting a new personal record in their respective events.

“Carina drastically ran better,” said coach Lance Harter on Carina Viljoen’s run in Stanford yesterday. “She’s knocking on the door repetitively and usually when you run with that consistently you’re prepped for a big drop in time at the NCAA meet.

“She ran against the big girls and that was really good for her. We’re heading in the right direction.”

Viljoen finished eighth in the 1,500-meters.
