FAYETTEVILLE -- Kemar Mowatt competed in track and field in his native Jamaica as a hurdler along with Omar McLeod.
"Omar was the big guy back in Jamaica in high school," Mowatt said. "I was basically a nobody at the time."
McLeod, who won three individual NCAA titles at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville in two years before turning pro after his sophomore year in 2015, is bigger than ever. He won Olympic and World Championship titles last year.
But Mowatt -- who followed McLeod to Arkansas after a brief stop at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi -- isn't a nobody now.
