FAYETTEVILLE — On a weekend that includes Penn Relays and Drake Relays, Arkansas’ Second-Annual National Relay Championships provided a plethora of elite marks and great competition including seven top-five finishes by the Razorbacks at John McDonnell Field.
Leading the way for Arkansas was the sprint medley relay of Rashad Boyd, Travean Caldwell, John Winn, and Kieran Taylor who pieced together a second-place finish running 3:16.54, a season-best time.
Shakiel Chattoo at 13.92 led the Razorback hurdlers in the 110-meter hurdles recording a third-place, with Tre’Bien Gilbert (13.99) and Daniel Spejcher (15.00) taking fourth and eighth, respectively. Spejcher’s time finished as a lifetime-best.
Roy Ejiakuekwu’s 21.07 was good for fifth place, followed by teammates Kris Hari (21.21) and Josh Oglesby (21.46) in ninth and 16th-place, respectively.
A fourth-place finish by Colin O’Mara in the 1,500-meters at 3:52.30 was a lifetime-best in the event.
Another Razorback lifetime-best was set in the 400-meter hurdles by Nick Hilson who finished fourth in a quick 51.22 seconds.
