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).

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.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It may be hard to believe in the present day, but Arkansas did beat a Nick Saban-coached team once upon a time. Twice, actually.
Of course, it occurred when Saban was the head coach at LSU, not Alabama, where his Crimson Tide squads beat Arkansas 17 times in a row.
But all the way back in 2000, just months after Nolan Richardson’s Hoop Hogs delivered an SEC Tournament title, the Razorbacks beat LSU 14-3 at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock in Saban’s first campaign in Baton Rouge.
Do those circumstances sound familiar?
Yes, they might just be coincidences, but John Calipari’s team did cut down the nets in Bridgestone Arena on March 15 after winning the SEC Tournament.
Arkansas football is preparing to host LSU this fall (albeit in Fayetteville, not Little Rock) and the Tigers have a first-year head coach of their own in Saban protege Lane Kiffin.
Kiffin, of course, isn’t new to the SEC or Arkansas fans. The Razorbacks went 2-4 against Kiffin during his six years as the head coach at Ole Miss.
However, he does give the Razorbacks an opportunity, while a seemingly small one, to do something they haven’t done since beating the Tigers with Saban calling the shots in 2000: beat an LSU team led by a first-year head coach.
Teams led by first-year head coaches are supposedly more vulnerable and susceptible to defeat, though that trend has been largely nullified in the modern era due to the transfer portal and NIL.
Arkansas didn’t seem to get that memo, however. In its last three games against LSU when the Tigers had a first-year head coach, it lost all three.
Les Miles’ first LSU team beat the Hogs in a 19-17 nailbiter in Baton Rouge in 2005, though the 4-6 Razorbacks were surprisingly competitive against a 9-1 LSU squad.
In 2017, Ed Orgeron’s maiden voyage as LSU’s HC included a 33-10 rout of the Razorbacks at Tiger Stadium against a wounded Austin Allen.
In 2022, Arkansas gave LSU, the eventual SEC West champions, all it could handle in a 13-10 loss in Brian Kelly’s first tussle with the Hogs on what resembled more of a frozen tundra than Razorback Stadium.
Is there much hope for Arkansas and Ryan Silverfield to beat LSU on Nov. 28? Not really, and understandably so. Kiffin is not your average first-year head coach.
He’ll have an immensely talented QB in Sam Leavitt under center and a roster that could contend for a College Football Playoff berth or even an SEC title.
But depending on how Arkansas’ first 11 games of 2026 go, the Hogs could be playing for more than pride. There is potential for Arkansas to be fighting for bowl eligibility in Week 13 should it find victories against the likes of Utah, Auburn and South Carolina.
A win would be the Razorbacks’ first over their border rival at home since 2014. That’s not to mention the inherent nostalgia that will come with the Battle for the Golden Boot returning to its rightful place on the college football schedule as a Thanksgiving weekend rivalry game.
All that’s left for Silverfield to do is to dial up some 2000 magic and try and become the first man since Houston Nutt to beat the LSU Tigers with a first-year head coach on the opposite sideline.
