Steeplechase good fit for UA's Wallace

FAYETTEVILLE -- Cale Wallace is ready to go the distance to help the Arkansas Razorbacks win another SEC track and field title.

The fifth-year senior from Cypress, Texas, suggested to Razorbacks Coach Chris Bucknam that he run the 3,000-meter steeplechase, 10,000 and 5,000 this weekend at the SEC Outdoor Championships in Columbia, S.C.

Bucknam said he probably would have allowed Wallace to run the triple, except his training has been slowed recently by a left calf injury.

So Wallace will be limited to the steeplechase and 5,000, which is still a challenging double.

"Cale wants to score points," Bucknam said.
