Well, Arkansas distance runner Scott MacPherson pulled off a bit of a surprise on Friday night.

  The senior hung with the leaders in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, was third with one lap remaining and finished a surprising fifth in the finals with a time of 8 minutes, 38.87 seconds. 

  MacPherson’s impressive showing scored four points for the Rarzorbacks and moved them into third in the overall team race with 18 total points. Not bad for his final outdoor race of his collegiate career.
