No. 1 Arkansas captures 11th consecutive SEC Indoor title
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – For the 11th consecutive year, and 15th time in program history, Arkansas claimed the SEC Indoor team title. The Razorbacks totaled 117.5 points for the victory, producing a dominating performance at Texas A&M this weekend.
Oklahoma finished as runner-up with 62 points while LSU placed third with 60.33 points.
Paityn Noe, a redshirt freshman, was the high point scorer with 16 points of a 5,000m victory and third place in the 3,000m. She earned the women’s Cliff Harper trophy.
After her 5,000m win on Thursday, Noe posted a time of 8:58.47 for third in the 3,000m behind an 8:55.27 by Alabama’s Doris Lemngole and 8:57.50 for Florida’s Hilda Olemomoi.
Arkansas totaled 47.5 points in three events on Saturday with 21 in the 800m, 14.5 in the high jump, and 14 in the 400m.
Rachel Glenn won high jump with a season best of 6-6 (1.98), just shy of the collegiate record she set in 2024 to win the NCAA Indoor title. Glenn attempted 6-7 (2.01), but missed each attempt at improving the collegiate record.
Razorbacks Heidi Hudson and Sydney Billington finished sixth and tied for seventh. Hudson, who contested the pentathlon on Thursday, improved her career best to 6-0 (1.83) while Billington cleared 5-10 (1.78).
Finishing behind Glenn was Georgia’s Elena Kulichenko, who set a career best of 6-4.75 (1.95). Starting at 6-0 (1.83), she cleared five consecutive bars on first attempts. Meanwhile, Glenn needed a pair of attempts at 6-2.25 (1.89) and 6-3.5 (1.92).
At 6-6, though, Kulichenko missed her first attempt while Glenn sailed over on her first try. Kulinchenko passed to the next height of 6-7 and missed twice.
In one of the fastest 400m races ever indoors, Georgia’s Aaliyah Butler won the scintillating race in 49.78, the world leader for 2025 and a meet record. Butler ranks No. 2 on the American and collegiate all-time list behind Razorback Britton Wilson’s 49.48 from 2023.
The previous meet record was 50.15 by Florida’s Talitha Diggs in 2023.
Arkansas placed second and third as career best times were generated by Isabella Whittaker and Kaylyn Brown. Whittaker clocked 49.90 as runner-up, which ranks No. 2 on the UA all-time list behind Wilson.
On the all-time American and collegiate lists, Whittaker ranks No. 3. On the all-time world list, Butler and Whittaker are the No. 6 and No. 7 performers. Brown produced a 50.70 in her second 400m of the season and ranks No. 5 on the UA all-time list.
A close finish in the 800m had LSU’s Michaela Rose winning in 2:00.25 with Razorback Sanu Jallow-Lockhart the silver medalist in 2:00.61. Arkansas also placed 3-4-7 with Analise Batista (2:01.60), Anna Podojil (2:02.12), and Ainsley Erzen (2:05.62).
Batista’s career best moves her to No. 3 on the UA all-time list while Podojil is now No. 5.
Razorback freshman Anya Jackson collected a bronze medal in the 200m with a career beset of 22.87 as she won her section. The time moves Jackson to No. 7 on the UA all-time list.
Tiana LoStracco also earned a bronze medal in the mile with a time of 4:37.45 as she finished behind Tia Wilson of Florida (4:30.10) and LSU’s Lorena Rangel Batres (4:30.25).
After the high jump, Glenn returned to the track for the 60m hurdles. She led a trio of Razorbacks who placed 6-7-8 for six team points. Glenn clocked 8.12, Skye Tolbert equaled her career best of 8.19 and Saira Prince ran 8.22.
Arkansas placed fourth in the 4 x 400m relay with a time of 3:27.95, which ranks No. 10 on the UA all-time list. The Razorback foursome included Kayla Davis (53.00), Sanaria Butler (51.68), Aaliyah Pyatt (52.03), and Joanne Reid (51.24).
Nia Robinson equaled her career best of 44-0 (13.41) to finish fifth in the triple jump. Hannah Estes finished sixth in the pole vault with a career best clearance of 13-11.75 (4.11).
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KAIT) – Registration is open for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s annual urban deer hunt.
This year’s hunts will be held in Cherokee Village, Fairfield Bay, Heber Springs, Helena-West Helena, Horseshoe Bend and Russellville.
The archery-only hunts are designed to offer an “inexpensive and effective method of nuisance deer management,” according to an AGFC news release.
Deer harvested during the urban hunts do not count toward a hunter’s seasonal limit, and there are no limits to the number of deer that can be harvested.
However, the first deer taken must be donated to Arkansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry, which provides ground meat to food pantries across the state.
Hunters must pass the International Bowhunters Education Program before participating. The program is available at www.agfc.com/education/hunter-education.
Hunters also must attend orientation to learn the specific rules of the hunts and pass a shooting proficiency test.

Latest Peppermint Hippo court filing alleges misconduct by Arkansas officials, asks for liquor license reinstatement
Video: Peppermint Hippo appeals liquor license revocation before Alcoholic Beverage Control board
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The latest court filing by a lawyer representing the Peppermint Hippo gentlemen’s club alleges misconduct by an Arkansas agency and its department head.
The filing asks that the club’s liquor license be reinstated pending judicial review of the January 2026 decision to revoke it. It alleges that Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Director Christy Bjornson “tainted the entire administrative proceedings.”
The filing alleges Bjornson had ex parte, or single-sided, conversations with Peter Riberiro about the death of his brother, John Riberiro. John Riberiro was killed in November 2021 after being ejected from the club and climbing a fence alongside Interstate 40, where he was hit by a car.
Peter Riberiro contacted ABC by email in February 2025, calling for the club’s license to be revoked. Bjornson replied to the email personally, and she and ABC Director of Enforcement David Potter then had a series of phone conferences with Peter Riberiro and his attorney through January 2026, ex parte communications since Peppermint Hippo representatives were not included, the filing alleges.
The filing also alleges that Bjornson acted with “extreme bias” in the club’s list of violations, including those that had previously been investigated and found unfounded. Bjornson determined the club was in violation, then looked for evidence substantiating her views, the filing alleges.
The state maintains, in a separate filing, that Bjornson’s communications were not ex parte under Arkansas law because she was acting as an administrator and the final decision was made by the ABC board, not her. Even if she was, the state’s filing continues, the decision to revoke was due to “substantial evidence and was neither arbitrary, capricious, nor an abuse of discretion.”
A hearing about the reinstatement is scheduled for Aug. 3 in Pulaski County Circuit Court.
