Weeks Picks Up Conference Honors

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Sophomore Tori Weeks has been named the Southeastern Conference Co-Field Athlete of the Week after achieving the fourth-best indoor mark in Arkansas pole vault history, the league announced Tuesday morning.

Further proving Arkansas’ worth of its No. 2 rank, Weeks set a new facility record in the pole vault at the Vanderbilt Invitational in Nashville this past weekend, placing first with a new lifetime best of 4.43m/14-6 ¼. The Cabot, Arkansas, native solidified her top spot in the nation as her new PR ranks as the top current collegiate mark in the NCAA.

Weeks will be back on the runway on Friday, Jan. 27 at the Randal Tyson Track Center, competing at the Razorback Invitational in the women’s pole vault at 2:30 p.m. CT.
