With an Olympic-sized rematch on the horizon Saturday at the NYRR Millrose Games, Olympic silver medalist Sandi Morris kicked off her February with a pair of fine performances in Europe. 

At a meet Sunday in Clermont-Ferrand, France, Morris vaulted to a world number three mark of 15 feet, 5.25 inches (4.71m).
