Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Brussels and Doha. These are the cities Greenville’s pole vaulter Sandi Morris (2016 Olympic silver medalist btw 😮) has competed in over the last few years. But, July 19, she’ll be bringing her skills back home to downtown Greenville, for the Liberty Bridge Jump Off.

The best part is, you’ll be able to grab a drink, some food, and hang out right next to the “runway” to watch her compete. Warm-ups for the Jump Off (conducted by the American Track League), will kick off at 5 p.m.-6:30 p.m., and the competition will begin at 6:30. Be sure to stick around afterward for a street party from 8:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Here’s to returning home, Sandi.
