Entire countries won’t win as many prestigious medals as those who have represented Arkansas won this week at the ongoing World Outdoor Track and Field Championships in London.
Omar McLeod repeated his 2016 Olympic gold for Jamaica winning the World’s 110-meter hurdles while Texarkana, Texas, native Jarrion Lawson leaped to the World’s long jump silver for the United States. They are both former NCAA champions for Coach Chris Bucknam’s Razorbacks men.
Sandi Morris, the former NCAA champion for Coach Lance Harter’s Razorbacks women, repeated her Olympic silver for the U.S in the World’s pole vault.
Kemar Mowatt, returning to Bucknam’s men as a senior in 2018, runs the World’s 400-meter hurdles final for Jamaica today.
