Missouri S&T’s Jordan Henry (St. Charles, Mo.) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week.

Henry, a junior pole vaulter for the Miners, placed first in the pole vault at the Bill Williams Invitational in Joplin, Missouri over the weekend.

He cleared a height of 5.07 meters to earn the victory. The effort leads the GLVC this season in the pole vault and is an automatic qualifying mark for the NCAA Division II Championship.

Missouri S&T will return to action at the GLVC Outdoor Championships on May 2-3. The Cougars, defending men and women champions, will host the event this year.

Other top performers in the GLVC last week included SIU Edwardsville’s Brian Bishop and UIndy’s Scott Knust and Elliott Cohee.
