Arkansas Wins Indoor National Title!

Great Meet! Attendance was high! Great Job!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Pig Sooie!!!!!!!!

Yes great show by the folks at Arkansas. This refers to the fans of track and field, the volunteers,the Arkansas coaches and the athletes of the University. Great facility and great atmosphere.

I was impressed with Arkansas' depth. That was a complete team. Did they score in every event group (sprints, jumps, distance throws?)

"..., distance throws?"

And in the outdoor season they add the "accuracy throws"--the hammer and the javelin?

No points in the hurdles -- might be why Cross ran with special purpose in the 4x4?

is the coach still inept?

What about Arkansas women? Coach Harter is the best NCAA women's coach and his distance crew rules. Arkansas women will win the NCAA title at home too!

You have got to be f-ing kidding us? Harter's team was the top ranked team going into Nats and he places fourth? He's always ranked well and has never lived up to expectations or even come close to winning NCAAs in any discipline. Heck, Harter won his first SEC title in XC, indoor, or outdoor in five years this year. Come on man, he's run more talent out of Fayetteville than you can imagine.

There's a reason why there's picture on the LetsRun homepage showing Mac shaking Bucknam's hand and not Harter's.

Arkansas women were ranked 3rd going in and almost beat the two teams ranked ahead of them.

To the tune of what, A national title, How many SEC championships so far... In the end, he is getting the job done with great help and great athletes. The last I heard, that's how it's supposed to be done.

Meanwhile, you've got a sore spot somewhere, are totally jealous of the attention and don't have anything to back up your comments.

What happened? Bar too high for you?

Wow. All

I can say is wow. He's got a lot of foreigners on his team, or as I have heard him call them "ready mades" and he begrudgingly dismisses other who use foreign athletes.

If it's one foreign athlete or "a lot" what difference does make? If rules allow it, then I don't see what the big deal is. Help me remember the last team to win a national title that didn't have one foreign athlete on their roster. American Citizens that are Jr. college transfers would probably fall into the "ready mades" category as well. Again, name a team in the last 40 years that won a national title without athletes that weren't either foreign born or transfers or JC transfers. They are all students working toward a degree until they graduate, drop out or go pro. By the way, they also had ahtletes that scored that were from Arkansas and others that have been with the program from the start of their college experience.

Sour Grapes?
