FAYETTEVILLE -- When Kenzo Cotton was a senior sprinter at La Vista (Neb.) Papillion High School -- about 10 miles south of Omaha -- he sent emails to track and field coaches at all of the SEC schools as well as Oregon and Southern California.
Only University of Arkansas, Fayetteville assistant coach Doug Case responded.
"The other coaches messed up, I guess," Case said. "Kenzo was a very good high school athlete and we were really interested in him from the start.
"We're glad he's here. He always shows up at the big meets and performs well.
