AUSTIN, Texas — No. 4 Arkansas pieced together a solid day three of the Texas Relays with several razorbacks setting personal-bests and advancing to the finals of their respective events.

The Razorbacks took the track for the 4×100-meter relay where Kiara Parker, Payton Chadwick, Janeek Brown and Kethlin Campbell ran 44.17 – the third-fastest in prelims – to advance to Saturday’s final.

Brown and Chadwick returned to the track for prelims in the 100-meter hurdles. Brown posted the fastest time in prelims at 12.98 – a time that would’ve ranked No. 1 in the NCAA entering the weekend – while Chadwick ran 13.33 advancing to the final with the eighth-fastest mark.

Kiara Parker (11.21/3.6+) and Kethlin Campbell (11.50/2.1+) will be in the final of the 100-meters after running the No. 2 and No. 5 times in prelims. Parker’s time tied for the No. 2 mark in the NCAA this season while Campbell’s time would’ve been the ninth-fastest time in program history had the wind been under the 2.0 meters per second allowable. Tamara Kuykendall (11.64/2.1+) and Tiana Wilson (11.65/3.3+) finished 12th and 14th, respectively.

J’Alyiea Smith finished eighth in the 400-meter hurdle final running 1:01.68.

In the field, Rylee Robinson posted a huge lifetime-best of 4.21m (13-9.75) clearing the first three bars of the competition before bowing out after three good looks at 4.31m (14-1.75). The PR for Robinson would’ve ranked as the fifth-best mark in the NCAA this season heading into this weekend.

On the west coast at the Stanford Invitational, Arkansas’ distance crew was hard at work.

Lauren Gregory posted an eighth-place finish in the 1,500-meters running a collegiate PR of 4:22.39. in the same event, Maddy Reed finished third in her heat at 4:21.53 that finished as a new personal-best. Staying with the 1,500-meters, Meghan Underwood used a fifth-place finish to set her collegiate PR at 4:26.33, while Quinn Owen used a fourth-place finish in her heat at 4:28.53 to set her collegiate PR.

Moving up to the 3,000-meter steeplechase, Rachel Nichwitz finished 13th in 10:28.26 in her season-opening race in the event.

In the 5K, Sydney Brown finished sixth in a quick 16:27.09.

Arkansas returns to Mike A. Myers stadium tomorrow for the final day of the 92nd Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays.
