“With every meet there is a level of importance, so we take each home meet seriously,” Bucknam stated.

“We’re trying to get our kids out there on our home track and maybe compete them in a different event. For the most part, we’re just in need of working on our resume to get this team to a championship level.”

The Razorback distance runners are set to engage in speed work by dropping down to the 1,500m category.

Coach Bucknam emphasized the importance of the upcoming meets in terms of securing national qualifying times.

“Hopefully, when we get to the SEC Championships we’ll be a fully formed team,” Bucknam remarked. “We want to have a great meet where we can have forward progress in our motivation, attitude, and performances.”
