COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- A strong start to the day in the long jump ended with a disappointing seventh-place finish in the distance medley relay for the Arkansas Razorbacks on the opening day of the NCAA Indoor Track Meet.
Andreas Trajkovski finished fourth in the long jump at 25-8¼, edged out for third place by Texas' Steffin McCarter, whose second-best jump gave him the advantage. Arkansas' Travonn White was eighth at 25-4¾.
Oregon is the early leader in the men's team race with 17 points. The Razorbacks are tied for ninth with 8, scoring 6 in the long jump and 2 in the distance medley, an event in which the Razorbacks fell far back early.
