Ft. Smith McDonalds Invite
Ft. Smith, Arkansas

In the greatest female showdown Arkansas has ever seen, Mallory Lawrence (Sr. at Russellville) and Stephanie Foreman (Jr. at Lake Hamilton) put on a show well worth the admission.

Mallory jumped 12'08" to become the #2 Arkansas female vaulter of all-time. She was on a 13'3" 135 Altius holding 12'09". Super close at 13'00".

Stephanie vaulted 13'02" to eclipse her personal best of 13'00.25" and break the meet record by 26 inches. She was on a 13'3" 145 Altius holding 12'09". Two good attempts at 13'04.5".

What a day!

Yeah, the ole Mickey Dee's . Wal-mart and McDonalds are big supporters of athletics here in Arkansas, and it seems like more invites, tournaments and championships are being sponsored by them each year. Wal-mart sponsored our home meet this year and our medals were huge.

Tell me about it.... i cant wear them around or ill get back problems. Its bittersweet having a meet sponsored by such a huge corporation. I like it because its usually well funded and has cool medals like that, but i dont like it when there are 5 "walmart invites" around the state.
