Jon Cok // Ferris State // Track & Field

Ferris State University's Jon Cok became the Bulldogs' first male student-athlete to claim All-America honors in track and field since 2010 by placing sixth overall in the high jump at the 2017 NCAA Division II Indoor National Championships with a performance of 6'9 1/2"". Cok had nine top-eight meet finishes during the indoor track season and won the high jump three different times. 

An All-GLIAC honoree, Cok was named to the GLIAC All-Academic Excellence Team and became FSU's first All-American in the high jump since 2006. He also is only the fourth All-American in men's track and field since the program was reinstated in 2000 and notched one of Ferris State's top five all-time indoor performances in the high jump in school history this season. 

Cok, an all-region honoree, placed at both the GLIAC and NCAA Championships in the high jump while also competing in both the long jump and triple jump at various points of the indoor season. He reached the national-qualifying standard multiple times during the season and was active in the program's community service initiatives. The Grand Rapids Christian product holds a cumulative grade point average of 3.54 in FSU's acclaimed Product Design Engineering Technology program.
