On Friday night, January 13, Newton North alum Chris Barnicle runs his first indoor race for Arkansas. Chris is one of five Razorbacks entered in the 3000 meters at the Arkansas Invitational. Savvy track fans might recall that Chris had the fastest 3K time of any high school athlete last year.

Read about it one the Arkansas web site.
