FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas' men's and women's track and field teams open the indoor season without some NCAA champions and Olympians, but with high expectations.
Both teams are competing today at the Arkansas Invitational at the Randal Tyson Indoor Center. Field events begin at 1 p.m. and running events at 3 p.m.
The Arkansas men have lost long jumper and sprinter Jarrion Lawson, a U.S. Olympian and the Bowerman Award winner as the nation's top track and field athlete. Lawson won four national titles last year and helped the Razorbacks sweep SEC indoor and outdoor championships and take second at both NCAA meets.
