Western Kentucky track and field athletes Katie Isenbarger and Nikki Ogorek have been named College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-Americans, the organization announced Tuesday. Isenbarger was a second-team selection while Ogorek was a third-team pick.
Isenbarger and Ogorek are the first CoSIDA Academic All-Americans for the program since Patrick Jenkins in 2009. It’s the first time WKU’s track and field program has had two honorees in the same year since Cara Nichols and Cheyenne Carmack in 2005.
Isenbarger holds a 4.0 grade-point average in her master’s program of recreation and sport administration. She was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team for track and field and volleyball in the 2021-22 school year.
