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.

“The schedule has worked out really well in preparation for the SEC Championships,” said women’s head coach Lance Harter. “We’ve got our initial qualifying covered, as far as who is going to be at the SEC meet. But we would like to circle back in some of the events that we thought maybe would be a primary and then someone runs a great secondary event.
