Weather demands Hogs make haste

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas Razorbacks Lexi Jacobus and Tori Hoggard introduced a new track and field event Friday at the John McDonnell Invitational.

Speed vaulting.

With lightning drawing close to McDonnell Field and thunder being heard in the distance, the twin sisters from Cabot wasted no time between their final pole vault attempts.

Both missed three attempts at 14 feet, 8 inches after clearing 14-0.

Jacobus took first because she cleared 14-0 on her first attempt. Hoggard was second because she cleared 14-0 on her second attempt.

"I took about a minute and a half between my last three vaults," Hoggard said.
