DALLAS – WKU Track & Field senior high jumper Katie Isenbarger was named the Conference USA Female Field Athlete of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
This is Isenbarger's first award of the kind and her second weekly award of the school year as she was named C-USA Volleyball's Defensive Player of the Week on October 25.
In her first time in a high jump competition in nearly two years, Isenbarger broke the program's female indoor high jump record that she previously owned by clearing 5' 11.5" (1.82m) on Saturday at Louisville's PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational. She broke the record she set in her freshman year of 2019 by 0.75 inches.
The new height tied Isenbarger's overall personal best of 5' 11.5" which is the outdoor record she owns also from 2019. She now holds three of the top five indoor and two of the top five outdoor marks in WKU Track & Field program history.
This is WKU's second weekly honor of the indoor season as Savannah Heckman earned the first track award in the opening weekend.
