FAYETTEVILLE -- The state's only 4-time national champion coach not inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame just became its only 5-time national champion coach not inducted into the hall of fame.
Lance Harter, last Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind., coached the University of Arkansas women to the program's first NCAA Cross Country Championship. Added to Harter's Razorbacks winning two NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships and two NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, that encompasses all five national championships won by the UA's entire women's athletic program.
Arkansas' last two NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Track titles came last March and June making Arkansas and Harter the only women's team and coach, other than Texas and Terry Crawford and Oregon and Robert Johnson, winning the NCAA Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor championships in consecutive meets.
