Arkansas tied with Alabama in a conference meet at Barnhill Arena in Fayetteville. Alabama suffered an injury in the next-to-last event for the Tide of the night, opening up an opportunity for the Razorbacks.

Sometimes the most difficult element of an assignment is meeting deadline, and that was the case tonight. My deadline occurred during the meet, so I had to miss the floor exercise to meet it. The wireless Internet signal was quite weak from where I was stationed in the hospitality room, so I had to walk out into the arena to connect and send. I got in with four minutes to spare.
