Friday, January 31, 2020 | Track and Field
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Gators kicked off the two-day Razorback Invitational Friday by posting four marks and times that rank in the top 5 of the Division I Indoor Qualifying list, and two more that remain within the top 10.
Juniors Amanda Froeynes and Nikki Stephens opened up the competition for the Gators by posting the No. 5- and No. 7-ranked pentathlon scores in Division I, respectively. Froeynes finished with a 4,062-point score, while Stephens logged a score of 4,003 points. Stephens' score also moved her from the No. 5 into the No. 4 spot in UF's All-Time Top 10 list.
The women's DMR quartet, headlined by sophomores Imogen Barrett and Doneisha Anderson, alongside junior Abbie Harrelson and redshirt senior Jessica Pascoe, logged the third-fastest time in the country and No. 3-ranked in school history. The time of 11:04.00 moved the group into UF's No. 3 spot by just 0.53 seconds.
Meanwhile on the men's side of the DMR, the team formed by senior Justin Pacifico, junior Dawson Guillory, freshman Jacob Miley and redshirt junior Marshall Dillon, moved into the No. 6 spot of the indoor national list with a time of 9:44.97.
Senior jumper Clayton Brown also posted top-5 marks Friday evening. The Jamaica native finished the first day of competition tied for the No. 3 spot in Division I, while also tying his personal record of 2.25 meters (7 feet, 4.5 inches) in the high jump. His mark remains the fifth-best clearance in school history.
Freshman Cameron Miller, who entered the competition already owning the fourth-fastest time in the nation, maintained his spot in the top 5 after crossing in 20.79 seconds in the 200 meters. The Dallas native topped his season-best time by 0.2 seconds.
Thrower Amara Wiggan set a new personal record Friday evening for the second week in a row. The senior, who logged at 20.06-meter (65 feet, 9 inches) mark at Virginia Tech's Hokie Invitational last week for a personal best, topped that mark with at 20.09-meter (65 feet, 11 inches) throw in Arkansas. Wiggan missed a spot in the program's All-Time Top 10 list by just 0.07 meters.
Competition at the Razorback Invitational resumes Saturday afternoon, with a live television broadcast starting at 2 p.m. on SEC Network.
