Track & Field Dominates I-40 Showdown with Big Wins, School Records


FINAL RESULTS

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Central Arkansas Track & Field had a weekend to remember at the Little Rock Invitational, claiming victories on both the men's and women's sides in the annual I-40 Showdown against in-state rival Little Rock at the Little Rock Invitational. 

The women's side racked up an impressive 241.50 points, while the men's side tallied 185, sealing the rivalry win and showcasing dominance across the board.

The meet was highlighted by four new school records:

- Jeffrey King launched a program-best 66.42m in the javelin.  
- Joia Perry threw 43.34m in the discus, setting a new top mark.  
- Xavier Simpkins clocked a blazing 14.02  in the 110m hurdles.  
- Jaden Schneeberger crushed the shot put with a throw of 17.41m.

Head Coach Weaver praised his team's focus and effort:  
"It was great to win both the men and women's I-40 challenge this year. We did not focus or talk about winning this meet as a team, but instead doing our best and being process-oriented. This led to our teams' success and individual success. It's always a great day to break numerous school records, and I'm just super proud of our men and women for pulling together and competing well."


The Bears will look to carry this momentum into their next meet at the Bryan Clay Invite in Azusa, California on April 17-18.
