FAYETTEVILLE -- Lance Harter looked at the incoming number on his cell phone and didn't recognize it.

"When I saw the number, I said, 'Who do I know in Myrtle Beach? Why is someone from there calling me?' " said Harter, who is in his 28th year as the Arkansas Razorbacks' women's cross country and track and field coach. "I had no idea."

Turned out the mystery caller wasn't a telemarketer.

It was Hunter Yurachek, the new athletic director at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.

Yurachek, hired Monday from the University of Houston, called Harter on Tuesday morning less than 24 hours after being on the job for Arkansas.
