How She Qualified
Morris enters this weekend’s NCAA Indoor Championships with the No. 2 mark in the country. At the SEC meet, she won the pole vault title with a final clearance of 4.66m/15-3.5 which bettered her own school record, broke the SEC meet mark and tied the No. 2 effort in NCAA history. It was her fourth winning performance of 15’ or higher this season. Morris will be joined in the field by teammates Desiree Freier (4.33m/14-2.5) and Ariel Voskamp (4.28m/14-0.5). In recognition of her efforts thus far, Morris was named the Co-SEC Field Athlete of the Year, the first-ever SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and continued to hold a spot on the pre-NCAA Bowerman Watch List.

History at the NCAA Championships
The Greenville, S.C., native is making her second appearance at the NCAA Indoor Championships as a Razorback, and fourth overall; Morris spent the first two seasons of her collegiate career at North Carolina.
