Arkansas Spring Invite
The Arkansas Spring Invite annually features strong Division I programs, including Oklahoma State and Tulsa, along with top Division II competition. The meet also includes an invite section reserved for the fastest athletes from participating schools.
Hosted at John McDonnell Field, one of the premier outdoor track and field facilities in the country, the venue regularly hosts the NCAA West Preliminary Round and has previously served as the site of the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
With Arkansas hosting multiple outdoor meets each season, Little Rock rotates its appearances. Last year, the Trojans sent a smaller group to the Arkansas Twilight in May. Highlights included now-junior
Devin Stevens placing in the top 10 in the 800 meters and now-senior
Falon Short finishing top five in the long jump.
Coach Speak
"This is a good opportunity for us to keep building and see where we're at," said head coach
J.P. Behnke. "We're focused on continuing our progress and putting together solid performances across the board this weekend."
