There is just one weekend remaining until the 2024 NCAA Regionals, and Arkansas baseball is in a terrific spot to be a national seed.
The Razorbacks (43-12) have hosted a regional in five of the last six seasons and look poised to have more postseason action in Fayetteville later this year. Arkansas is No. 2 in the RPI and hasn’t been ranked outside of the top five of USA TODAY’s Baseball Coaches Poll all season.

WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Arkansas City hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday at Lovie Watson Park.
The ribbon cutting was hosted by the Arkansas City Chamber of Commerce and marked the culmination of extensive efforts by Arkansas City’s Parks Department to renovate the park.
The renovations were made possible through a grant that was secured in Nov. 2023 from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Health Pathways program.
The grant funding helped install new equipment and establish a tobacco-free policy within the facility.
The Pathways initiative, known as Pathways to a Healthy Kansas, is the largest community grant initiative funded by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas. It combines community-wide, evidence-based solutions and practices to help Kansas communities improve active living, healthy eating, and tobacco prevention.
The initiative provides community coalitions the tools and resources to engage their communities and remove barriers to healthy living.
