FAYETTEVILLE — As usual, Arkansas Razorbacks juniors Lexi Jacobus and Tori Hoggard were double trouble for the rest of their pole vault competitors.
Jacobus and Hoggard — twin sisters from Cabot — took 1-2 at the National Relay Championships on Saturday at John McDonnell Field.
Both cleared 14 feet, 9 1/2 inches, but Jacobus won because she cleared her first attempt at that height and Hoggard cleared on her second attempt.
Jacobus and Hoggard each missed three attempts at 15-1 1/2, which would put them in the national lead.
Virginia Tech freshman Lisa Gunnarsson had the top mark nationally at 15-1, which she cleared to be the top collegian at the Texas Relays, where Jacobus and Hoggard had the second and third marks in the NCAA ranks at 14-11 and 14-9, respectively.
