Former UNC pole vaulter Sandi Morris wins silver medal in Rio

Posted Aug 20, 2016
Pole vaulter Sandi Morris attended UNC for only two years before transferring to Arkansas, but she definitely left her mark before leaving — setting a school record of 14-feet, 1¼-inch as a freshman in 2011. She was also a three-time All-American for the Tar Heels. Friday, she added another accomplishment to her resume by becoming an Olympic silver medalist. (Wilmington Star News)
