FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas women and men came out on top at the 2021 SEC Indoor Championship on Saturday at Randal Tyson Indoor Track Center in Fayetteville, Ark.
Arkansas Takes SEC Indoor Championship Men’s Team Title Without A Victory
The Arkansas men’s program totaled 116 points to claim its 24th SEC Indoor championship team crown after the 17 scored events on Saturday. The Razorbacks achieved the men’s team title with a very rare feat after landing the title without an individual or relay win. It was the first time in the history of the SEC Indoor championship a team had accomplished a conference title in such fashion.
“I’m just so proud of this team and the coaches,” said Arkansas men’s coach Chris Bucknam on the university website. “They did a phenomenal job. From way back in August to now it’s been really tough doing all the things we had to do. But they got into a flow, listened to their coaches, and we just had a great meet. It’s a great victory for our program.”

Arkansas Women Win Seventh In A Row
Meanwhile, the No. 1 ranked Razorbacks cruised to victory in the women’s category as well – winning a seventh consecutive SEC Indoor championship, after tallying 141 points.
“It takes a village and it was very much a combined effort,” said Arkansas women’s head coach Lance Harter. “Our combined effort is a pretty formidable foe, to say the least, as a team.
“What we’re super excited about is that we were able to get through it relatively happy.
“We had some great breakthrough performances and added a few more individuals to the national lineup. We’ll just look forward coming back here in two weeks and see what the NCAA has to offer.”
