Hoggard captures first national title

AUSTIN -- Roles reversed, Lexi Jacobus watched twin sister Tori Hoggard win her first pole vault national championship on Thursday at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Hoggard vaulted 14 feet, 111/2 inches to outlast San Diego State's Bonnie Draxler to win the title. Jacobus, a four-time champion (three indoor, one outdoor) and seven-time All-American, took ninth with a vault of 13-91/4.

The Cabot natives combined for five national championships and 13 All-America honors during their four years in Fayetteville.

Arkansas senior Gabe Moore put in the fastest 1,500-meter run (4:34.34) of his track and field career on a strained hamstring to conclude a 13-hour day with a third-place finish in the men's decathlon.
