Arkansas sprinter Rosey Effiong registered a victory in the 400m, defeating teammate Britton Wilson on the first day of the Tyson Invitational at Randal Tyson Track Center.

Anchoring the Arkansas distance medley in a time of 4 minutes, 29.89 seconds, enabled Lauren Gregory to move the Razorbacks from eighth to second place, finishing in 10:56.73, the fifth fastest time by an Arkansas squad.

A new season starts this Friday with the Arkansas Invitational at the Randal Tyson Track Center, and the Arkansas squad will feature plenty of new faces making their Razorback debut.

As Kessiah Bemis prepared to compete in the 800 meters, all she had on her mind was to break her personal best in that event.

Fayetteville wasn't in the mood to give much away during Friday's Class 6A state outdoor track and field championships. The Bulldogs and Lady Bulldogs preferred the alternative.
