The Razorbacks are coming off a bye week following meets in Texas (Texas Relays) and California (Stanford Invitational) and will host squads from Arkansas Baptist, Missouri, Missouri State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Oral Roberts, Southwest Baptist, and Tulsa at this weekend’s meet.

“We’ve got a good program set up for Friday and Saturday,” said head coach Chris Bucknam.

“We have Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Tulsa [coming], it should be a good meet, I’m looking forward to getting back on our home track again. It’s a meet where number one, we get out guys on the track and get racing and hopefully get a couple regional qualifying marks in. We’re in a heavy training period right now, yet, we’re still trying to put a few qualifying marks out there and try to make our team better.”
