Record throws highlight Hogs’ regular season finale
Arkansas concluded the regular season outdoor season hosting the Arkansas Twilight with a few outstanding performances.
FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas concluded its 2018 regular season outdoor campaign in John McDonnell Field hosting the Arkansas Twilight that featured a few outstanding performances.
“We put together a great home finale meet today at John McDonnell,” said coach Chris Bucknam. “Obviously not everyone on our roster competed today, but the ones that did competed well.
“We’ll take the weekend to piece together our entries for the SEC meet next weekend and prepare ourselves for the three day battle in Knoxville.”
It was a record day for throws at John McDonnell Field, as Erich Sullins rewrote his school record mark in the hammer throw by more than four feet, recording a distance of 63.71m (209′-0″) in the event.
Sullins proceeded to set a new personal best in the discus as well, finishing with a mark of 48.18m (158′-1″).
Alex Springer moved up to No. 8 all-time among Razorbacks in the javelin, throwing a season-best 65.92m (216′-3″).
Overall, seven personal-bests were recorded including Sullins’ school record in the weight throw.
