It was a good Friday night for former Arkansas women’s athletes at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro as Sandi Morris and Veronica Campbell-Brown earned silver medals and Taylor Ellis-Watson helped put herself in position to win a gold medal.
Morris, the 2015 NCAA indoor champion as a senior for the Razorbacks, competed in her first Olympic final and took second by clearing 15 feet, 9 inches.
Morris, 24, missed three attempts at 16-0, including her final try when she appeared to have plenty of height before her left thigh hit the bar and knocked it off.
