Arkansas Invitational Results

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Rachel Bolton recorded her third 12-foot-plus pole vault of the outdoor season to lead a small group of OU track and field student-athletes Saturday at the Arkansas Invitational. The majority of the Sooners took a weekend off from competition and continued preparations for next weekend's Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Freshman Bolton finished third, second among collegiate student-athletes, by clearing 12-2.50 on her first attempt at that height. Senior Jacy Bennett finished fifth with a 11-6.5.

On the men's side, freshman Mar-Keo Jones recorded a career-best 11.00 in the 100-meter dash and established a career-best time in the 200 with a 22.30 in his first race in the outdoor 200 this season.

The final competitor of the weekend, Riley Masters, will run in the 1,500-meter run on Sunday night at the Payton Jordan Invitational, hosted by Stanford. A invited participant for this event, Masters recorded his season best on this track in late March. The time, 3:40.77, is currently the third best time in the country.

OU will begin competition in the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships Friday in Waco, Texas. That meet will continue through May 5.
