FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The No. 11 Arkansas men’s track and field team entered the second day of the Razorback Invitational sitting in second place behind Texas A&M. The Razorbacks began to chip away at the Aggies lead with huge underclassmen showings at 400 meters.

Jamarco Stephen kicked off day two of the Razorback Invitational in stellar fashion claiming the top spot in the 400 meter open race. The sophomore made a strong final push coming around the bend into the home stretch beating Cyril Grayson of LSU to the line in a personal best time of 46.85.

The fans at Randall Tyson Track Center saw lightning strike twice with Jarrion Lawson. After posting a world-leading mark in the long jump on day one of the Razorback Invitational he returned on day two to add a personal record in the 60-meter dash. Following close behind new NCAA leader John Teeters who crossed the line with a blazing 6.54, Lawson finished with his own electric time of 6.62.

Sophomore Kenzo Cotton returned to the mondo following his solid performance at 200 meters accompanying Lawson in the finals of the 60-meter dash. Continuing to show veteran consistency in his speed, Cotton clocked 6.68 to round the top three in the event.

On the runway junior Clive Pullen was more than pleased with his performance for the Razorbacks giving the fans a show of celebration after earning a new personal record in the triple jump. Going into his last attempt Pullen was sitting at 15.82m/51-11 until he unleashed a tremendous mark of 16.04m/52-7.50. It was Pullen’s first 16 meter jump since his freshman season on the indoor circuit.
