UA athletes soar to nationals

Arkansas freshman twin sisters Lexi and Tori Weeks and senior Ariel Voskamp made sure their hometown will be well presented at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

All three Cabot pole-vaulters cleared 13-10 Friday at the NCAA West Regional in Lawrence, Kan., to advance to the NCAA Championships June 8-13 in Eugene, Ore.

The top 12 finishers in each event at the regional and top six relay teams advance to nationals.

Lexi Weeks, the NCAA indoor champion and national leader outdoors, was Friday's winner because she didn't have any misses at 13-01/4, 13-61/4 or 13-10.
