FAYETTEVILLE — Few get told, 'Wait ’til next year,” in the same year they win a national championship.
Payton Chadwick did. She’s glad of it.
Chadwick followed her coaches’ redshirt plan instead of running what would have been her outdoor finale after winning the 2018 NCAA Indoor 60-meter hurdles. Now a fifth-year senior who was 2019 SEC Indoor 60-meter hurdles champion, Chadwick runs her final SEC Outdoor next Thursday through Saturday.
Arkansas hosts at John McDonnell Field with Chadwick in the 100-meter hurdles, 200-meter dash and 4x100 and 4x400 relays.
“It’s crazy with us hosting SEC Outdoor on my last one and having the home crowd,” Chadwick said.
