Lawson leads way for Hogs' jumpers

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas NCAA champion Jarrion Lawson led four Razorbacks who went farther than 25 feet in the long jump Friday at the John McDonnell Invitational.

Several longtime track officials working the meet said they couldn't recall the Razorbacks ever having four 25-foot jumpers on the same day.

"I think we've got the best long jump crew in the NCAA as far as depth," Lawson said. "I'm happy for everybody."

Lawson, a senior from Texarkana, Texas, who has two NCAA indoor titles, won Friday with a 26-2¼ leap while long jumping for the first time this outdoor season.
