NEW ORLEANS – Three-time NCAA champion pole vaulter Lexi (Weeks) Jacobus has been named to The Bowerman 2018 Mid-Outdoor Watch List, announced Wednesday afternoon by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Jacobus is one of five student-athletes from the Southeastern Conference, including Aleia Hobbs (LSU), Sydney McLaughlin (Kentucky), Keturah Orji (Georgia), and Karissa Schweizer (Missouri) to be featured on the prestigious list of 10.
A five-time first-team All-American, Jacobus finished the indoor season as a bronze medalist at the SEC Indoor meet en route to a third NCAA Championship in her signature event. She holds a personal best in the event of 4.70m/15-5, the No. 2 mark in program history and a clearance which earned her an Olympic berth during her freshman season in 2016.
In addition to Jacobus, Razorbacks’ senior combined events performer and eight-time All-American Taliyah Brooks received votes for the Mid-Outdoor Watch List. The next Watch List will be announced on May 2.
