Igbokwe recorded a time of 45.49, an outdoor PR, at the NCAA West Preliminary that stands as the No. 5 mark all-time in Arkansas’ program history to punch his ticket to Eugene.

At last year’s NCAA Outdoor meet, Igbokwe finished 20th in the 400-meters (46.40) and helped the Razorbacks secure a runner-up finish in the 4-x-400-meter relay running a school record time of 3:01.84 in the final.

Cameron Griffith, who has qualified for every championship meet during the 2017-18 academic year (XC, ITF, OTF), will make his outdoor championships debut in the 1,500-meters after finishing fifth at the NCAA West Prelims running a personal-best time of 3:43.14.

Griffith finished as the bronze medalist in the 3,000-meters (8:05.91) at the indoor championships this past March in College Station, Texas.

Gabe Moore returns to the NCAA Championships following a sixth-place finish at the 2018 NCAA Indoor Championships. Moore posted a total score of 5,874-points to earn All-American honors indoors.

During the 2018 outdoor season, Moore has recorded a program No. 2 mark of 7,901-points that came during a runner-up finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships in Knoxville, Tenn.
