Sandi Morris, a former University of Arkansas NCAA pole vault champion and silver medalist at the 2016 Olympics, cleared 15 feet, 7 1/4 inches to win at a Diamond League meet Tuesday in Gateshead, England.
It was the final meet for Morris before the Tokyo Olympics, where she'll compete after finishing third in the U.S. Olympic Trials with a best clearance of 15-1.
Two other former Arkansas NCAA champions – Omar McLeod and Payton Chadwick — finished second in hurdle races. McLeod ran 13.42 seconds in the 110-meter hurdles and Chadwick ran 12.75 in the 100-meter hurdles in Gateshead.
