Couple of track items

Because we don’t have a track board, I’ll post a couple of links here:

• Jarrion Lawson has reportedly signed the largest endorsement deal ever with Asics: http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2016 … ver-asics/

• Here is a feature that runs in our July issue of the magazine on Arkansas’ track coaches. It was interesting to get them to open up a little about winning so many championships and how it isn’t as easy as it looks: http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2016 … wing-down/

Chatter among Track&Field fans is that Jarrion has Carl Lewis potential of a combo sprinter-jumper at the highest level. There have been examples of women in recent track history, but none I can recall among men since Carl Lewis.

I look for Jarrion to make the US Olympic team in the Long Jump at the Olympic trials starting Friday in Eugene.
