Arkansas alumni win three golds at USATF Championships in New York

University of Arkansas former athletes captured three national titles at the U.S. Track & Field (USATF) Championships held at Icahn Stadium, New York City. Chris Bailey secured the men's 400‑metre gold in 44.39 seconds, Nikki Hiltz defended her women's 1,500‑metre title with a 4:06.92 finish, and Sandi Morris claimed her sixth outdoor pole‑vault crown, clearing a season‑best 4.90 m.

Both Hiltz and Morris added to their career tallies, each reaching a tenth overall USATF title when indoor victories are counted. Bailey earned his second outdoor 400‑metre championship. The sweep highlights the University of Arkansas' track program and its ability to transition athletes from collegiate competition to elite senior‑level events ahead of upcoming international meets and the Diamond League circuit.
