EUGENE, Ore. — Kenzo Cotton of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (10.14) was denied a berth in the 100 final but came back in the 200 to run 20.38, which was fourth in the first heat but fast enough to put him in the final.
“I didn’t know if I was going to make it through [in the 200], but my heat was kind of fast,” Cotton said. “When the second heat ran slower, I thought I had a chance.
“I wanted to make it in the 100 but with the headwind, it kind of messed me up … now I have one less race to run and more time to recover.
