PHS Ends In Fourth At Indoor Meet

The fifth annual Arkansas Track Coaches Association Indoor Championships were held on the Razorback facility in Fayetteville this past weekend.

"The Wolves had a skeleton crew attend and, even though we were thin in numbers," coach Eddie Jackson said, "we managed a fourth place finish in the AA-A-B division."

There were only three Wolves with scoring performances, but several younger athletes peformed well and in many events were only a second away from scoring.

The scoring was led by senior Cowin Hopson who, took second in the long jump and a third in the 55- and 200-meter dash.

Junior Jason Morrow came right off the basketball floor and took third in the vault with a personal record jump of 13 feet. He entered the 800 and set a state record of 2:07, shattering the old eight-lap time by four full seconds. He opened the man's relay with a great time of 52.1.

Brother and teammate Jeremy Morrow scored in the vault with a tied personal record jump.
