FAYETTEVILLE -- Lance Harter is approaching his 70th birthday and is five years removed from being inducted into the national hall of fame for his sport.
At a time when many coaches his age are retiring or trailing off from past success, Harter is at the peak of his career. His University of Arkansas women's indoor and outdoor track and field teams and cross country team were the best in the nation in 2019, winners of the NCAA and SEC championships in all three sports.
