Sandi Morris (born July 8, 1992) is an American pole vaulter and one of the most accomplished competitors in her event during the late 2010s. Hailing from Downers Grove, United States, she established herself as a consistent medal contender on the world stage.
Morris won the silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and followed up with silver medals at both the 2017 and 2019 World Championships. She reached the top of the podium at the 2018 World Indoor Championships, setting a championship record by clearing 4.95 metres, which matched her indoor personal best set in March 2016 in Portland, Oregon. In July 2016, she broke Jennifer Suhr's American outdoor record by clearing 4.93 metres at the American Track League in Houston.
Morris further cemented her legacy by raising the U.S. women's outdoor pole vault record to 5.00 metres at the 2016 IAAF Diamond League Memorial Van Damme in Brussels. Her ability to perform at the highest level across both indoor and outdoor seasons made her one of the defining pole vaulters of her generation.
