ROLLA, Mo. – A pair of Missouri S&T men's track & field competitors have been named as All-Midwest region selections for the 2021 indoor season by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

Juniors Nick Janke (Rolla, MO/Rolla) and Aaron Jones (Kansas City, MO/Ruskin) were named to the all-region team, which is awarded to student-athletes that finished among the top five competitors in the region in their event during the season, or was a member of a relay team that finished among the top three in the region.

Janke earned his honor in the high jump, where he had the fifth-best clearance of the season of 6-7 at the TRXC Timing Opportunity #2 meet on Feb. 12 at Principia College.  Janke's mark was the second-best in the Great Lakes Valley Conference this season as well, trailing only the mark of 6-9 by Ndubisi Eze of the University of Indianapolis.

Jones was named in the triple jump with a leap of 46-7½ that was also the second-best in the GLVC this season and fifth-best in the region.  Jones posted that performance on Jan. 16, also at Principia at the TRXC Timing Opener and was bettered only by the mark of 49-3½ that was recorded by Southwest Baptist's Tahje Tolliver.
