FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A small group from Little Rock got in one final opportunity to compete before heading to the conference championships, hitting the track at the Arkansas Twilight on Friday night.

The relay team of Zoa Adams, Palmer, Jasmine Torres, and Aaliyah Booker clocked a 3:46.07 to finish third behind Harding and Pittsburg State. Palmer also ran a 23.61 in the 200 meters to finish sixth.
