Pullen guts it out on gusty day

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks senior Clive Pullen's return to triple-jumping at an outdoor meet was not a comfortable one.

The last time Pullen competed in the triple jump outdoors was last August at the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, where Pullen competed for his native Jamaica on Aug. 15.

It was 75 degrees with a light breeze that night.

Saturday afternoon at John McDonnell Field it was 46 degrees with a north wind blowing at 13 mph with gusts up to 20 mph that made it feel like 40 when Pullen triple jumped. It was raining off and on.
