FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas women's track and field team regained the nation's No. 1 ranking Monday, just one week after losing it.
With a strong showing at the Payton Jordan Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., the Razorbacks jumped ahead of Southern California, which now sits at No. 2 in the poll.
At the event, Arkansas athletes broke two school records. Chrishuna Williams ran the 800 meters in 2:01.61, winning the race breaking Aneita Denton's 10-year-old record.
The other record came from Dominique Scott, who ran the 5,000 meters in 15:32.55. That broke her own school record and was second among collegians at the invitational.
The men's team also saw its ranking improve, as they went from No. 12 to No. 8.
