When conversations about the most dominating NCAA sports programs in history, Arkansas's track and field must be in consideration. The man partly responsible for it is now 32-time SEC Coach of the Year, Chris Bucknam.
SEC Coaches voted on Bucknam again after the Razorbacks won their fourth-straight SEC Outdoor Championship. The streak is the second of its kind in Arkansas history. It also gave Bucknam his fifth SEC Triple Crown and Arkansas's eighteenth in its 32-year history in the SEC. For those of you counting at home, that leaves just 14 years without one.
The Hogs edged out Alabama and Texas A&M, scoring 10 points on the 4x400m relay to go up 110 to 104 and 103.5, respectively. The Razorbacks broke the school record in the process, finishing with a time of 2:59.03.
Bucknam and the Hogs will head to Eugene, Oregon, to participate in the NCAA Championships from June 5-8.
