The No. 11 Arkansas Razorbacks are set to host the Wooo Pig Classic at the Randal Tyson Track Center, marking its first return since 2021. Competing teams include Central Arkansas, Coffeyville CC, Grambling State, and more. Head coach Doug Case mentioned the recent flu outbreak that affected over 10 athletes, making this meet a low-key effort to recuperate. Key athletes include sprinter Jerome Campbell, who posted top times in the 60m hurdles and will also compete in the 60m sprint.

By the Numbers
  • Jerome Campbell's season best of 7.57 in the 60m hurdles ranks No. 4 on Arkansas' all-time list.
  • In his debut, Jelani Watkins ran 20.88 in the 200m, close to his personal record of 20.78.
State of Play
  • Arkansas is dealing with a flu outbreak that impacted several athletes leading into the meet.
  • The team plans a limited lineup to recover before the upcoming Tyson Invitational.
What's Next

As athletes recover, the Razorbacks will prepare for the more competitive Tyson Invitational next weekend, focusing on regaining strength and performance levels.

Bottom Line

While the Wooo Pig Classic serves as a recovery opportunity for Arkansas, the team's resilience and preparation could set the stage for greater performance outcomes at the Tyson Invitational.
