We have a big sophomore class right now. We're not expecting any news on signing day. Both John McDonnell and Lance Harter plan to use this signing period to upgrade their distance crews. The Razorbacks finished third in the nation at the recent NCAA Indoor Meet held in Fayetteville. McDonnell and his staff signed one athlete, Sugar Land, Texas, athlete Jonathan Reeves, in November.
Reeves competes in the shot put and discus.
We're trying to sign six distance runners and the other will be in the field events. We went down, in numbers, pretty bad in the distances in the past couple of years. We're trying to add some depth and we'll be pretty happy if all those guys send back their contracts. Like McDonnell, Harter has built his elite track program by emphasizing the distances and field events. Harter is hoping to sign at least five athletes today after inking a pair in November.
