Weeks keeps title in family

Arkansas Razorbacks sophomore Tori Weeks kept the SEC pole vault title in the family.

Weeks cleared 15 feet on her first attempt at that height to win Friday at the SEC Indoor Track and Championships in Nashville, Tenn. She edged her twin sister, Lexi, who swept SEC and NCAA indoor and outdoor titles last year.

Lexi Weeks also cleared 15-0 but on her third attempt, so Tori Weeks was the SEC champion based on her first-attempt clearance.

"I don't care which one of them wins as long as they keep going 1-2," said assistant Bryan Compton, who coaches vaulters at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
