The Arkansas women’s track-and-field team is the best in the country.
Literally.
A dynamite weekend at the Razorback Invitational lifted Arkansas to top ranking in the nation USTFCCCA women’s national rating index. They sat No. 2 last week, but after dominating their home meet, the Hogs jumped SEC foe Florida for the top spot.
Amber Anning ran the 10th-fastest collegiate 400-meter dash in American history over the weekend clocking a 50.56 time. Later, she ran the lap in 51.05 as part of 10th best 1,600-meter relay time in world history when the Hogs finished the mile (or so) in 3:25.59. To top things, she broke the British 200-meter record with a 22.60 sprint.
After Florida were Oregon, USC, Illinois, Texas A&M, Brigham Young, Washington, Georgia and Oklahoma State in the Top 10.
Other SEC schools ranked are Ole Miss (11th), LSU (12th), Alabama (14th), South Carolina (15th), Kentucky (16th) and Tennessee (17th).
Arkansas is back in action February 9-10 at the Randal Tyson Track Center for the Tyson Invitational.
