Men’s Team Places Third

FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) - The Arkansas women's track team proved why they're number one in the nation during the SEC championship.

With a win in the conference championship, the Razorbacks captured the seventh triple crown in the history of the program. The win also clinched the eighth outdoor title for the Hogs. Arkansas has now won 15 of the last 16 SEC championships across cross country, indoor track & field, and outdoor track & field.

The women's team racked up 139.5 points in the victory with five event champions. The 4x100-meter team broke a school record of 43.11 seconds in the event win. Arkansas took a 1-2 finish in the 100-meter hurdles from Janeek Brown and Payton Chadwick where Brown finished with a world best 12.55 seconds. The 400-meter dash featured a personal-best time of 51.03 seconds from Kethlin Campbell. In the 5,000 meter race, the Hogs took first and second courtesy of Taylor Werner and Lauren Gregory. Werner set a facility record with a time of 15:51.08. The final event champion came in the 4x400 meter relay team that recorded a season-best time of 3:29.22.

Meanwhile, the men's team finished third overall in the SEC championships with a final score of 91 points.

Junior Gilber Boit finished the 5,000 meter run winning with a time of 13:54.76.
