Arkansas Runs Away With Women's 4x400m Title At NCAA Championships

AUSTIN -- Arkansas dominated the women's 4x400m, getting a 50.7 anchor from sophomore Rosey Effiong as the exclamation point, to easily win the title at the 2023 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
The victory was a triumphant sendoff for Razorbacks coach Lance Harter, who retired after 32 years.
"Very emotional, it's coach Harter's last run, and a lot of our seniors and other teammates' last year, as well," Effiong said. "So, I was just happy to be out there and do something that can give them a memory of a team who had spirit and knew how to win."
