“We’re going to run our full team this weekend and we’ll really open up to see where we’re at this week,” stated Arkansas men’s head coach Chris Bucknam. “The course is in great shape and it’s going to be fast.
“That’s one of the advantages of this meet at this time of the year. It’s a challenge, not so much a hill challenge as it is a speed challenge. Both of those things are difficult to deal with. I think we’ll have some really fast times this weekend.”
