Drew Rogers stole the race and the show this weekend.
Rogers was in eighth place with a lap and a half left in the men’s 3,000m at the SEC Indoor Championships in College Station. The announcers had barely mentioned his name.
Everyone seemed distracted by the Razorback pack in the front. The Arkansas men were only a few events away from surrendering their team title for the first time in six years to Texas A&M.
But, amidst all the commotion, Rogers locked in.
“With 600m to go, I was still in contention, and I always tell myself if I’m there with 400 to go, I’m winning,” Rogers told ESPN’s John Anderson after he won the race.
