SPARTANBURG, S.C. – For a second consecutive week, VMI junior pole vaulter Cameron Thomas has been recognized as the Southern Conference Men's Field Athlete of the Week for his performance at last weekend's VMI Invitational.

The Windsor, Colorado, native won the individual title in the pole vault with a new school record height of 5.12m (16' 9.5"), breaking his own personal record of 5.11m set the weekend prior at the VMI Team Challenge.
