FAYETTEVILLE -- Kennedy Lightner was forced to sit out much of the track season last year in order to rest an injured hamstring and allow it to properly heal.
The North Little Rock senior sprinter has returned, and he's left his mark again. Lightner rewrote two records he previously held during the Class 5A/6A state indoor championship Saturday in the Randal Tyson Track Center.

Lightner won the boys 60 meters in 6.87 seconds and eclipsed the previous mark of 6.95 he set as a sophomore, then he won the 200 in 21.43 seconds and snapped the previous mark of 21.90 he set two years ago. The Arkansas signee also won a third event when he took the 400 in 49.57 seconds.
"I'm a lot stronger, and my starts are a lot better," Lightner said. "And I'm mentally better, too.
"I had a bad start on the 60. I wanted a 6.80, but the 6.87 felt good. I felt I had it when I crossed the finish line. I trained for this. I'm hoping I can get things down to a 10.2 for the 100 outdoor and a 20.4 in the 200 outdoor."
A third meet record went down moments earlier as Marion's Shaka Bogan won the boys 60 hurdles. His time of 8.02 eclipsed the previous mark of 8.22 set by Fort Smith Southside's Greg Phillips in 2011.
The most interesting race, however, may have been the girls 1,600 meters as Bentonville High senior Lainey Quandt and Rogers sophomore Ali Nachtigal finished in a dead heat for first in 5 minutes, 14.53 seconds. Quandt had the lead heading into the final lap, but Nachtigal briefly took the lead before Quandt made a final push near the finish line.
Both runners came back and took first place in another race. Quandt passed Cabot's Lauren Turner on the final stretch and won the 800 in 2:19.33, while Nachitgal passed Bentonville's Tori Willis at the start of the final lap and won the 3,200 in 11:25.95.
"My parents and I were talking about how crazy it was," Quandt said. "They took it out to the third decimal, and we were still tied. A lot of the race was jostling for position, and a lot of the race I was in lane two, which is not a good position."
Saturday's meet marked the first time that schools were split into their respective classification, which meant two state boys and two state girls champions were crowned. Things, however, remained status quo in Class 6A as Bentonville's boys and Rogers' girls successfully defended their titles in a pair of close calls.
Bentonville defeated Fayetteville in the boys division by a 116.5-114.5 margin behind first-place finishes by the Tigers' 4x800 relay team of Carter Quandt, Garrett Clifford, Orion O'Connor and Coleman Wilson (8:06.25) and Bryant Parlin in the shot put (57-7). Rogers' girls, which won last year's title by less than a point, had a little more space to spare with 137 points to Bentonville's 133.
"You never get comfortable, not with Bentonville," Rogers coach Becky Efurd said. "We knew we had our work cut out for us this year because they had people in the shot put and pole vaults -- events we had nobody entered. We had to maximize points in other events.
"Our distance crew is phenomenal. We told them how many points we needed out of each race, and Anna Jeffcoat and Hailey Day had to go in three events. Our hurdles were huge and scored 21 points, going 1-3-5. Georgia Brain was huge, winning the triple, the long jump and the hurdles."
The split in classification proved to be beneficial for Sylvan Hills' girls and Vilonia's boys as they took the Class 5A state titles homes. Sylvan Hills won five events -- Mia Heard in the long jump (18-0.5) and triple jump (37-4), Aliya Hatton in the 400 (1:01.74), Ayana Harris in the 60 hurdles (9.12) and the 4x400 relay team of Asya Dandridge, Felicity Watkins, Alexis Lee and Hatton (4:19.91) -- and compiled 109 points to 90 for second-place Sheridan.
On the boys side, Vilonia had first-place finishes from Draven Smith in the long jump (20-11) and triple jump (44-6.25), JD Otts in the 3,200 (10:15.97) and the 4x800 relay team of Nick Lewis, Otts, Brandon Raulston and Brayden Matyja (8:28.00). The Eagles finished with 133.5 points while second-place Lake Hamilton had 83.
"They've been needing to do this split for a long time," Vilonia coach Michael Stout said. "By splitting the division, I think they're going to bring more interest to indoor. We'll get more people involved.
"My guys, they always over-achieve. As soon as we found out this was going to be divided, they really focused on it. They came out and had PRs. They just came out and worked."
