FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – A week after opening her indoor season with a Randal Tyson Track Center facility record, Sandi Morris improved it to a world-leading height 16 feet (4.88 meters) to win the event during the American Track League 3 meet on Sunday.
Morris, who cleared a winning height of 15-9.25 (4.81) a week ago, surpassed that height with a 15-10 (4.83) make as she was still contending with a challenger in the form of Olivia Gruver, who set an indoor career best of 15-8.25 (4.78) as runner-up. Megan Clark placed third at 15-0.25 (4.58).
“I’m super, super happy and this has been a great series already and I’ve only had two meets,” said Morris, who has an indoor career best of 16-2.75 (4.95) from 2016. “Really the goal of this has been to get comfortable on the new poles that I’m jumping on. I feel that I’m super confident now.
