FAYETTEVILLE — For only the second time since 2014, Clive Pullen triple-jumps while not in an Arkansas Razorbacks shirt.
It marks the first time, Pullen says, he jumps not in awe of wearing a shirt different than Arkansas’.
Even while winning Jamaica’s national triple jump championship in 2016 and again last June 24, graduating senior Pullen wore garb representing the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
Razorbacks junior All-American 400-meter hurdler Kemar Mowatt also wore Arkansas’ shirt while qualifying with Pullen to represent Jamaica at next month’s World Outdoor Championships in London.
From much of the retired Arkansas Coach John McDonnell era through the entire ongoing Coach Chris Bucknam Arkansas era, Jamaica has pipelined track athletes into Arkansas who have blossomed to world class, including former Razorbacks and current Jamaican World Championships team hurdler Omar McLeod.
