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.
