SEC Indoor Championship Results | Top-10 Individual Scorers

NASHVILLE – The No. 2 Arkansas men’s track and field team added to its trophy collection on Saturday afternoon in Nashville, winning its 22nd Southeastern Conference indoor title at the 2017 SEC Indoor Championships.

It took an entire team effort; an Arkansas tradition that started during the John McDonnell Era and has since carried over through Bucknam’s tenure. 22 student-athletes contributed points towards the team victory either with a relay or individually.

Jamaican Olympian Clive Pullen was Arkansas’ fourth podium-finisher of the meet, placing second in the triple jump with a mark of 16.61m/54-6. Pullen found himself once again embroiled in a heated battle with Florida’s KeAndre Bates. Although unable to match Bates’ best of 16.81m/55-2, Pullen came out of the event with eight major points for Arkansas. The Razorbacks also picked up five additional points in the triple jump from Rubin Owens who placed fourth with a mark of 15.65m/51-4 1/4.

Junior Kenzo Cotton led the charge on the track, steering the wild Hogs towards their triumphant finish as a double-event scorer, placing third in the 60-meter dash and fourth in the 200.

Four other Razorbacks, Jack Bruce (3,000 and DMR), Obi Igbokwe (400 and 4-x-400), Eric Janise (400 and 4-x-400) and Carlton Orange (800 and DMR) also worked double time, logging time in two events apiece to ensure Arkansas defended its conference indoor crown. Bruce earned his second podium finish of the weekend, anchoring Arkansas’ DMR team to a silver-medal finish.

Additional individual top-eight finishers for the Razorbacks included: Brad Culp, fifth (heptahlon), Larry Donald, seventh (60-meter hurdles), Derek Jacobus, sixth (heptathlon), Kyle Levermore, eighth (5,000), Gabe Moore, fourth (heptathlon), Andrew Ronoh, fourth (5,000) and Josh Washington, seventh (200).

Arkansas 4-x-400 relay team of Mowatt, Stephen, Janise and Igbokwe completed the stellar weekend, scoring eight points to secure The Razorbacks’ second-consecutive indoor crown.

A replay of the 2017 SEC Indoor Championships will air as part of a two-hour show on ESPN on Sunday at 7 p.m. CT.
