Former Lady Bulldog pole vaulter Morgann Leleux clinched her spot to the upcoming Olympic Games at the U.S. Track & Field Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday.
New Iberia, La., native Morgann Leleux locked in a spot to her first Olympics thanks to a personal-best effort in the women’s pole vault. The three-time SEC champion went over the bar at 15 feet, 5 inches to take second and thanks to her Olympic Standard in her event, Leleux will be now representing Team USA next month.
