It is appropriate that Arkansas track and field athlete Etamar Bhastekar competes in the heptathlon.
The men's heptathlon is a seven-event competition that ranges from sprints and high jump to hurdles and pole vaulting, and requires versatility. Bhastekar, a basketball player-turned-pole vaulter who served in the Israeli army and teaches children in his spare time, is nothing if not versatile.
In March, the Razorbacks' track and field team was preparing to compete for a national championship at the NCAA indoor meet. With teams already in Albuquerque, N.M., the meet was canceled the day before it was scheduled to begin because of the covid-19 outbreak.
