FAYETTEVILLE -- Lexi Weeks knows she'll cap her freshman year at Arkansas by traveling a long way south to pole vault in another country.
The question for Weeks is whether she'll go 2,300 miles to San Salavador, El Salvador, or 5,300 miles to Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
Weeks has accepted an invitation to compete for the United States at the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletics Association meet in San Salavador on July 15-17. But she will change travel plans for Rio to compete in the Olympics in August if she qualifies at the U.S. track and field trials later this week.
