AUSTIN, Texas — Arkansas completed day two at the Texas Relays with a new school record in the hammer throw and a runner-up finish in the decathlon Thursday afternoon.

Moore entered day two holding a 95-point lead over Texas A&M’s Nathan Hite with five events left in the competition.

The senior opened day two with a lifetime-best of 14.50 in the 110-meter hurdles, improving upon his previous best of 14.59 from last week’s Arkansas Spring Invitational at John McDonnell Field.

After an opening scratch in the discus throw, Moore was able to record a mark of 38.49m (126-3) on his second attempt that served as his best following a scratch on his third attempt.

Passing on the first five bars, Moore entered the competition clearing 4.20m (13-9.25) on his second attempt to get himself on the board. Moore would clear one more bar (4.30m/14-1.25) before three misses at 4.40m (14-5.25).

A huge PR of 59.19m (194-2) in the javelin throw yielded Moore a five-point lead over Texas A&M’s Hite with one event to go.

The 1,500-meters saw Moore finish in 5:03.72 to finish with a two-day total of 7,661-pts that currently sits as the second-best total in the NCAA this season. A second-place finish in the decathlon capped action at Texas Relays for Moore.

Erich Sullins entered the meet with a personal-best and school record mark of 63.96m (209-10), that quickly became a thing of the past. Every single throw from Thursday’s competition surpassed the old mark with his best throw of 67.85m (222-7) becoming the new school record.

Sullins finished fifth-overall in the event and is currently No. 8 in the NCAA and No. 2 in the SEC.

The Razorback duo of Nick Hilson and Tre’ Bien Gilbert attacked prelims in the 400-meter hurdles finishing 10th and 56th, respectively with times of 52.32 and 55.92.

Hilson was the first one out, missing the finals by a mere tenth of a second (.10) while Gilbert’s time was a collegiate best for the Freshman from Converse, Texas.

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

The Razorbacks will also be in action on the west coast as Arkansas competes at the Stanford Invitational in Stanford, Calif.
