Alexus Henry: UTA’s track and field high jumping star

A national champion.

Holder of four individual school records.

UTA royalty.

Alexus Henry sits on a throne all to her own as the most successful female athlete to step on UTA’s track.

Her four school records in the indoor high jump, outdoor high jump, pentathlon and heptathlon are unmatched; No current athletes can say they have the same number of records simultaneously.

John Sauerhage, track and field head coach, described Henry as UTA royalty, who makes up part of what he calls “UTA’s Mount Rushmore” — track and field athletes who have won an NCAA individual championship.
