PORTLAND, OR — Saint Martin's Track & Field athlete Ryan Doidge was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference's Men's Field Player of the Week for his outstanding performance in the pole vault this past weekend.

Doidge topped a field of 12 competitors in the pole vault at the PLU Open last week, building off his solid foundation of a silver medal in the event at the 2025 GNAC Indoor Championships. The junior cleared a bar at 14-5.25 feet (4.40 meters) on his second attempt, before coming up just short on the next progression at 4.70 meters. Doidge sits atop the early GNAC outdoor performance list with the top leap so far this spring. This marks Doidge's first-ever GNAC Player of the Week award.
