Arkansas Meet of Champions
Heber Springs

Lexi Weeks became the first Arkansas high school girl to break the 14 foot barrier today at our Meet of Champs! And she jumped it in 52 degree weather with a cross/head wind holding 13'00" on a 13'3" Altius Elite! Congratulations, Lexi! What a day!

Nice! What weight pole was she on compared to her body weight? How fast is she in the 100m or other short sprint race?
