Alumni Corner: Murray advances to Outdoor Championships

Harrisburg native and Ole Miss sophomore Lindsey Murray claimed a spot in the June 8-11 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, by placing in the top 12 in Jacksonville.

Murray punched her ticket to Eugene by placing eighth in the pole vault with a clearance of 13-feet-11.25 (4.25m). She tied with nine other vaulters at that height and earned eighth place due to number of misses.

Murray became the second woman in school history to advance to the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the pole vault. Neal Tisher made the national meet in 2010 and 2011.
