ROLLA, Mo. – Two past standouts in the Missouri S&T athletic program, Jordan Henry and Tamara McCaskill, will be part of the Great Lakes Valley Conference's Hall of Fame Class of 2015 as announced today by the conference office.

Henry and McCaskill were both All-America performers in the track & field program at S&T and McCaskill was one of the top players in the history of the Lady Miner basketball program as the two student-athletes competed at the university in the late 2000s.  They are part of a class of six individuals who will be inducted May 19 at the Enterprise Rent-a-Car/GLVC Spring Awards Banquet in St. Louis.

Henry earned numerous honors during his career at Missouri S&T, topped by being named as the winner of the 2009 Paragon Award by the GLVC and the Gale Bullman Award as S&T's top senior student-athlete following the 2008-09 academic year.

During that season, Henry earned the male "Athlete of the Year" award at the GLVC Indoor Championships, when he won the league championship in the heptathlon and took second in the pole vault.  The heptathlon title was one of five earned by Henry during his S&T career, which included a record performance in the pole vault when he became the first vaulter in conference history to clear the 17-foot mark during the league's championship meet.

Missouri S&T captured the team championship in the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2009, the school's first team championships as a member of the GLVC.

Henry also finished second in the pole vault at the NCAA Division II Championships on two occasions, doing so at the 2008 and 2009 indoor championships and competed at the NCAA national meet six times.  His other conference championships in the pole vault came at the 2006 outdoor meet and at both of the 2008 championship meets.

In the classroom, Henry – who majored in electrical engineering at Missouri S&T – was a two-time ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America selection and was the recipient of the GLVC's "Scholar-Athlete of the Year" award in men's track & field following the 2008 and 2009 seasons.  He was also named to the GLVC's All-Academic team in all four years of his career and served on S&T's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

McCaskill was a standout in two sports at Missouri S&T, earning All-America honors in track & field on three occasions in the high jump and All-GLVC status in basketball.

As a member of the Lady Miner basketball team from 2005-09, McCaskill finished her career as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,525 points in 114 games, an average of 13.4 points per game over her four seasons.  She set school records for field goals made in a season (201 in 2008-09) and a career with 591, as well as finishing in fifth for career steals with 160, sixth in career rebounds with 620 and in blocked shots with 81.

McCaskill is one of just three players in the history of the Lady Miner program to lead the team in scoring in at least three consecutive seasons, with a high mark of 17.6 points per game in the 2008-09 season.

She was a three-time member of the All-GLVC team, headed by a first-team selection – and Daktronics all-region laurels as well – following the 2007-08 campaign when Missouri S&T finished at 24-7 and reached the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Regional championship game.

In track & field, McCaskill established the school record in the outdoor high jump during the 2009 season in finishing third at the NCAA Division II Championships of 5-8½.  She recorded three finishes among the top two at the five GLVC championship meets she competed in during her career and placed third in the other two in the high jump.

A chemical engineering major at Missouri S&T, McCaskill was the recipient of the 2009 Gale Bullman Award and also served on S&T's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Henry and McCaskill will be joined in the induction ceremony by Jon Mark Hall, the former tennis coach and current director of athletics at the University of Southern Indiana; Shannon Wells, a volleyball and basketball standout at USI; June (Wernke) Rigney, a top tennis player at the University of Indianapolis; and Duane Chappell, a four-time national champion in the pole vault from Lewis University.
