FAYETTEVILLE – In his final season as head coach of the Arkansas women’s team, the No.2 Razorbacks captured a ninth consecutive title and Lance Harter’s 44th league championship with 130.5 points.

The team victory was also the 13th SEC Indoor title, moving Arkansas ahead of the 12 claimed by LSU.

Combined with the men’s victory this marks the 10th time Arkansas has swept team titles at the SEC Indoor Championships. Overall, this is the 33rd sweep for the Razorback men and women in SEC Championships – cross country (19), indoors (10), and outdoor (4).

The final day supplied a whirlwind of points after producing 45 on day one of the meet. Florida was runner-up with 85 points and followed by Tennessee (56.33), Alabama (54), Ole Miss (54), Georgia (53), Kentucky (51.33), and LSU (32).

Lauren Gregory defended her title in the 3,000m and won the mile, adding to her 2019 title, while totaling 21.5 points to earn the Cliff Harper trophy as the high-point scorer for the second consecutive year. Last season Gregory scored 20 points.

Gregory set a meet record in the mile with her winning time of 4:31.96, which bettered the previous mark of 4:32.49 set by Dominique Scott of Arkansas in 2015.

Elsewhere, 21 points were achieved in the 400m with five Razorbacks in the final. Amber Anning led the squad with an Arkansas record of 50.68 seconds, topping the 50.88 set by Britton Wilson last year.

Anning, now No. 3 on the British all-time list, finished as runner-up to an American and collegiate record of 50.15 by Florida’s Talitha Diggs, who bettered the 50.34 mark set by USC’s Kendall Ellis in 2018.

Arkansas also placed 4-5-6-8 with Rosey Effiong (51.64), Joanne Reid (51.76), Nickisha Pryce (51.83), and Paris Peoples (52.28). While Anning set a school record, Reid moved to No. 6 and Pryce is now No. 7 on the UA all-time list.

Wilson ran in the 800m this weekend and earned a silver medal with a time of 2:02.13, which matched her debut earlier this season. This time Wilson had splits of 28.01, 30.70 (58.71], 30.56 [1:29.27], and 32.86.

The Razorbacks capped the meet with a third consecutive victory in the 4 x 400m relay in 3:27.57, the fourth fastest time in school history. The relay crew included Reid (52.94), Effiong (52.29), Anning (50.92), and Wilson (51.42).

Finishing behind Arkansas were South Carolina (3:32.35) and Vanderbilt (3:33.23) as disqualifications and a dnf eliminated usual contenders for medal positions. Kentucky (3:28.39) and Auburn (3:32.97) were both disqualified while three teams did not finish – Georgia, LSU, and Texas A&M. Kentucky and Texas A&M were in the same section as Arkansas.

Ackera Nugent scored 14 points on her own, placing second in the 60m hurdles as she bettered her UA school record from 7.88 to 7.81 and set a career best of 7.20 in the 60m for third place. Nugent is now equal to No. 3 on the UA all-time list in the 60m with Veronica Campbell.

Kentucky’s Masai Russell, the collegiate record holder at 7.75 from this season, won the 60m hurdles in a facility and meet record of 7.77 as she and Nugent bettered the 7.79 facility record set by Clemson’s Brianna Rollins in 2013 and a 7.89 meet record by Tonea Marshall of LSU in 2020.

Yoveinny Mota added Razorbacks points in the hurdles by placing fifth in 8.13.

Gregory posted a winning time of 9:09.90 in the 3,000m to defeat the tandem of Hilda Olemomoi of Alabama (9:12.09) and Kentucky’s Tori Herman (9:12.21). Razorbacks Sydney Thorvaldson (9:17.94) and Gracie Hyde (9:24.68) finished fifth and seventh as Arkansas totaled 16 points in the event.

Also racing in the mile for Arkansas were Mary Ellen Eudaly (4:47.60) and Carmie Prinsloo (4:57.12), who placed ninth and 10th.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — The Big Grab is a 50 mile yard sale that stretches through Winnsboro, Ridgeway and Blythewood. It's back for a new year and will continue tomorrow.

Vendors are selling different goods from clothes to shampoo to cow skulls and beyond. Tommy Sanders is in Ridgeway selling antiques for the first time at The Big Grab. He says it's a way for him to make money despite his recent retirement.

"It’s the best 401(k) you’ll ever get," Sanders laughed.

Others like Madeline Rambo are using earnings for a good cause. She and her mom are at the yard sale for the fifth year in a row, raising money for the Institute for Cultural Communicators.

"It’s always really big and our goal is normally to raise a couple thousand dollars in order to [help people] go to these conferences and be able to attend these events [as a part of the organization]," Rambo said.

People from all over are visiting to find the best bargains. Regina Scott is from Maryland. She was already planning to visit her mom in Columbia, but when she heard about the big sale, Scott knew this was the weekend to come.

"We’ve been snatching up some of those deals," she said. "I love it. I look forward to coming back again next year."

Scott isn’t the only visitor from out of town. Mary Anne Tolber owns a small business in Winnsboro, called A Latte Luv.

"It actually brings a lot of people from out of state," she told me.

Tolber said she's had a line stretching out the door.

Liz Humphries owns Blythewood Consignment, which was also packed with shoppers.

"It’s an amazing event for any small business on the route and we just really enjoy it 'cuz we have tons of people that come in and it’s really just like a big party," she explained.

Gene Stephens with Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce says helping small business owners like Tolber and Humphries is a big priority. He tells me it costs about $2,500 for marketing, which is split between Fairfield and Blythewood.

"We do it because it draws about 20,000 people to Blythewood, Ridgeway, and Winnsboro and it’s a huge boost for our small businesses," he explained.

"This is our busiest two days of the year," Humphries confirmed. "We usually check out close to 400 people in two days."

No matter what you’re looking for, chances are you’ll find it at the yard sale just like siblings Caleb and Abigail Coplin have.

"I like the jewelry because I like the shine of it and the cool of it," Abigail said as she showed off her new cactus earrings.

"And I like just being able to communicate with people and talk to them and just see how friendly they are to each other," Caleb added.

Friendliness is a quality that other visitors have noticed. Melvyn and Shawna Adkerson have come to shop for the past five years. They told me that everyone they have talked to has been friendly.

"That’s one of the things is everyone at The Big Grab is really nice. That’s what we really like about it," they shared. "In this day and age when everyone’s glued to their smartphones and smart devices, it’s great to get out. And you don’t see people carrying those around. You see people talking and sharing and visiting with each other."

On Saturday, the yard sale will be back - rain or shine - in Winnsboro, Ridgeway and Blythewood from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.

What's with all the earthquakes? DHEC has some answers

South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control answered some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the recent Elgin earthquakes

COLUMBIA, S.C. — With the recent earthquake swarm -- nine quakes on Wednesday and Thursday alone -- South Carolina's top health agency is providing a few answers.

The Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) took to social media to answer some questions about what may be causing the tremors.

Could the earthquakes be a result of mining operations in the Lugoff-Elgin area? DHEC-permitted mines in the area are surface pits, with the majority of those measuring 30 feet or less in depth. The shallowness of these mining pits would not be expected to contribute to seismic activity.

What about the gold mine near Ridgeway? Even the Haile Gold Mine, which is included in the DHEC data because of its proximity (roughly 40 miles from Elgin), is not deep enough to cause or contribute to earthquakes. The deepest mine in the area is 900 feet deep and is located approximately 75 miles away.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has recorded the originating depth of the recent earthquakes as being from 6,336 to 12,672 feet deep.

RELATED: Could earthquakes be impacting buildings around the Midlands?

Can fracking -- injecting pressurized steam into the earth to access oil and mineral deposits underground -- be the cause of the earthquakes? There are no fracking operations in South Carolina.

Are the quakes caused by fault lines running through the state? There are multiple fault lines running throughout South Carolina, making the state one of the most seismically active states on the East Coast. The South Carolina Emergency Management Division (SCEMD) has published an earthquake guide that gives the history of earthquakes in South Carolina and tips for surviving earthquakes.

How can you track or get information about the latest earthquakes? The US Geological Survey (USGS) records information about earthquakes around the world. You can get the latest information on the USGS website and can filter your results to see earthquakes in your area over time.

The USGS says earthquakes are not uncommon in the Elgin area, "but having a sequence of about 40 earthquakes in such a short time is unusual. Many earthquakes of similar magnitudes have occurred in the eastern U.S., but it is extremely rare for them to be foreshocks to much larger earthquakes. This swarm will continue for an unknown length of time, and if it stops it may resume sometime in the future."

As of Thursday, June 30, 2022, there have been 43 earthquakes in the same area surrounding Elgin since December 2021.

The USGS also reports the current series of Elgin quakes do not seem to be related to the seven earthquakes reported near Jenkinsville and the Monticello Reservoir in October 2021.

Still concerned? The Town of Elgin is coordinating with DHEC, SCEMD, and other organizations to hold a town hall meeting for residents and businesses to talk about the recent earthquakes and express their concerns.

A new recreation center, wastewater treatment plant, and improvements to the commerce center are all on the way

RIDGEWAY, S.C. — Fairfield County has begun spending part of its $99 million settlement with Dominion Energy over the failed VC summer nuclear reactor

Fairfield County officials held a groundbreaking Wednesday for a $2.5 million recreation center in Ridgeway. The center will be equipped with a fitness center, public resource center, a kitchen and a basketball court. The outside will feature a 1/4 mile walking loop and a soccer field.

Last month, the county unveiled its $2 million "Teacher Village", which is also funded by the settlement money. Director of Economic Development for the county Ty Davenport tells News 19, these projects are only the beginning of what is to come.

“We really are on the edge of something great,” said Davenport.

According to Davenport, the county is using the money on upgrades to the industrial park at the Fairfield Commerce Center, work on the I-77 Mega-site and a $46 million wastewater treatment plant near the Broad River.

Davenport said work on the industrial park will start next month. He also said the wastewater treatment plant is expected to be done within the next three years.

County Council Chairman Moses Bell said these investment ensure Fairfield will be a place where residents can work, play, and stay.

“From 2010 to 2020 we lost over 12% of the population. We cannot allow that to happen in this county anymore," said Bell.

Long-time resident Brett Collins has seen that decline of businesses and people. He said he looks forward to new jobs and new growth in the area.

“If we use that money to attract industry to come here. You’ll keep your youth here working and the county will flourish,” said Collins.

Prisma Health mobile care clinic helping residents in Ridgeway

"It's a good thing for people to come and keep a check on their pressures, their blood pressure," Audra Gibson, Ridgeway resident said.

RIDGEWAY, S.C. — A Prisma Health mobile care clinic is making its way through rural parts of the Midlands during the weekends.

This is thanks to a $200,000 grant from the South Carolina Center for Rural and Primary Healthcare that started in May 2022.

The mobile unit is making stops in Eastover, Rembert, Ridgeway, and Swansea. This Saturday, it was set up in Ridgeway.

"It's a good thing for people to come and keep a check on their pressures, their blood pressure and their sugar levels and everything so that way they know what's going on with their body," Audra Gibson, Ridgeway resident said.

Gibson was just one of the handful of people who came to the mobile clinic in Ridgeway Saturday.

She tells News 19 she found out about it by word of mouth and encourages others to come too.

It's open to anyone, including those without healthcare.

"The purpose of the clinic is for us to be able to provide an opportunity for people in the community to be able to connect to a primary source of healthcare," said nurse practitioner Deitra Watson. "We are trying to connect the community to identify areas and reasons why they are unable to access care. It could be because they do not have access in the form of a primary care doctor. They may not have access via transportation."

Another barrier is not being able to afford healthcare or not having time during the work week to see a doctor.

"We have a lot of aged or elderly people in Ridgeway and Fairfield county who don't have access to be able to go to places, to go to their doctor or hospitals and who don't have health coverage because a lot of them again are aged and are at this point in time they are retired," Ridgeway Mayor Heath Cookendorfer said. "And we know what the difficulties and times are right now, money, the dollar doesn't go as long as it used to. So having health care and having the ability to have healthcare to where our people have access to it is greatly important."

Full-fledged health care facilities are also far and few between in these rural areas like in Ridgeway. So this one-stop-shop offering services like blood pressure checks and reproductive health assessments is a solution.

The mobile units are always staffed by a nurse practitioner or physician, along with administrative staff in a location with health disparity and set up in a place based on community preference.

Even during the hundred-degree heat, these workers are out here giving their time and service because this community is in need.

The next mobile clinic will be hosted Saturday, June 25 in Rembert at the Union Baptist Church on 5840 Spring Hill Road. The grant lasts through the end of this year until February 2023, so future clinics will become available on Saturdays in the months to come.
