Arkansas’ status as one of the best track-and-field programs in the nation stayed true in the last week.
On the final day of the World Championships in Hungary, former Arkansas athletes earned three more medals to close the ceremony. In all, current and ex-Hogs picked up eight totals medals, including three gold and four silver, in the games.
The final day saw Nickisha Pryce get a silver as part of Jamaica’s 4×400-meter replay team and Amber Anning grabbed a bronze in the same event with her British relay group. On the men’s side, Chris Bailey took a gold as part of the American 4×400-relay team.
Five of the eight medal winners for Arkansas were current collegians. Rosey Effiong joined Bailey as a current Razorback with gold. She earned one as part of the mixed 4×400 team, a team that set a world record.
