FAYETTEVILLE — Razorback Destiny Huven won her first race over 100m hurdles this outdoor season with a time of 13.39 seconds during Friday’s Arkansas Twilight at John McDonnell Field.
A world-leading outdoor mark in the long jump was produced by Tara Davis-Woodhall as she won the event with an outdoor PR of 23-6 (7.16) in the third round. A second round effort of 23-2.5 (7.07) equaled the facility and meet record she established in the 2023 Arkansas Twilight.
Davis set an overall career best of 23-6.75 (7.18) during the indoor season to win the USATF Indoor Championship in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Racing for the first time since the NCAA Indoor Championships due to an injury, Huven opened with the 100m and clocked 11.94 for sixth place as UA alum Jada Baylark won the race in 11.27 (-0.3 wind).
Moving to her specialty event later in the meet, Huven cruised to a victory over professional Gabriele Cunningham (13.45). Huven sports a career best of 12.82 in the event.
Arkansas alum Shafiqua Maloney registered a win in the 400m as she lowered her St. Vincent and the Grenadines national record to 50.75 from a 50.94 earlier this outdoor season.
Maloney bettered the meet record of 50.97 set by Razorback Britton Wilson in 2022. Finishing behind Maloney in the race was Kendall Baisden with a time of 52.91.
