BIRMINGHAM - The Arkansas State Red Wolves are the 2020 Sun Belt Conference Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field Champions after sweeping both meets on Tuesday, marking the first time since 1998 that both A-State indoor track & field teams claimed the team honors.

The title for the men was its first since 2018 and eighth overall. The women's team title was the program's first since 2013 and fifth overall.

The A-State women tallied 138 points over the course of the two-day Championship while the men totaled 146 points. Troy was the women's runner-up and UTA was the men's runner-up.

Camryn Newton-Smith led the way for the A-State women, earning wins in the pentathlon and the 60-meter hurdles. Bennett Pascoe on the men's side for the Red Wolves earned 23 points, winning the 5k on Monday and then the mile run on Tuesday. He finished sixth in the 3k as well.
