FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas women's track and field coach Lance Harter and four former Razorback athletes have been elected to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
Harter, Joe Johnson (basketball), Johnny Ray (baseball), Tim Horton (football) and Lisa Cornwell (golf) will be inducted during a banquet that is scheduled for April 16, 2021, at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.
In 30 years at Arkansas, Harter has won five NCAA championships, 39 SEC championships and coached dozens of All-Americans in cross country and track and field. In 2019 Harter's teams won NCAA championships in all three sports he coaches.
Harter was inducted to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Prior to coaching at Arkansas he won 14 NCAA Division II championships at Cal Poly.
Johnson and Ray each played two seasons at Arkansas before long professional careers. Johnson was All-Southeastern Conference as a sophomore in 2001, and Ray earned All-Southwest Conference honors in 1978 and 1979.
Johnson played for six franchises in 18 NBA seasons, and was a seven-time all-star. Ray's 12-year MLB career included a second-place finish for National League rookie of the year in 1982, the NL Silver Slugger Award for second basemen the following year and a 1988 All-Star Game appearance.
Horton was a receiver for the Razorbacks from 1986-89 and was an assistant coach at Arkansas from 2007-12. Horton was All-SWC as a senior on the Razorbacks' last team that won a conference championship. He is currently an assistant coach at Vanderbilt.
Horton's father, Harold, was inducted to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1989.
Cornwell, a host on Golf Channel, was a golfer at Arkansas in 1996 after transferring from SMU. A native of Fayetteville, she won four amateur championships in the state.
