FAYETTEVILLE -- In an instant, Sandi Morris transformed from doing the utterly understandable emotional thing to doing the right thing.
She did it in a way that makes her Olympic silver medal even greater than winning the gold.
The University of Arkansas graduate and 2015 NCAA indoor pole vault champion and 2015 NCAA runner-up for Coach Lance Harter's Razorbacks now vaulting professionally, but still coached by Razorbacks women's vault coach Bryan Compton, represented the United Stats in the Olympics at Rio de Janeiro. Morris represented the U.S. down to the Games' last vault.
Though clearing the same 15-10 3/4 best height, Greece's Ekaterini Stefanidi led on one fewer miss.
