Jordan Wenger, a sophomore at Oral Roberts University, has been named the Summit League Men’s Field Peak Performer of the Week. The announcement was made by league officials on Tuesday as part of the third set of Summit League Indoor Track and Field Kwik Star Peak Performer of the Week honors for the season.

Wenger achieved a personal-best in the high jump at the Owen Hewitt Invite, clearing 7-1.75″ (2.18m). This performance tied him for seventh place nationally and set a new program record for Oral Roberts. He currently holds the top ranking in the Summit League for this event. It is his second time receiving this award during the current season and marks his third career weekly honor.

The other honorees include Kaleb Foltz from North Dakota State on the men’s side, who won his first career indoor weekly award after taking first place in the 800-meter with a personal-best time of 1:50.74, which ranks seventh in the NCAA this season. On the women’s side, Olivia Keller from St. Thomas and Marleen Mülla from South Dakota were recognized for their performances in track and field events respectively.

In addition to Wenger’s recognition, several athletes from various universities were nominated across different categories but did not receive awards.
