OSHKOSH, Wisconsin – The Midwest Conference (MWC) announced its Performers of the Week award recipients for games played January 26-February 1, 2026, on Tuesday.
MWC sports information directors nominate student-athletes for the Performer of the Week honor by sport and vote as a committee to select the winners.
For the winter and spring seasons, Performers of the Week will be recognized every week on Monday (basketball, baseball, softball) and Tuesday (swimming and diving, indoor track and field, men’s tennis, outdoor track and field) once their seasons have been triggered (three MWC institutions competing) and will conclude the week prior to the sport-specific Conference tournament/championship.
The Performer of the Week award winners are as follows:
Men’s Swim and Dive Performer of the Week
Evan Ingraham, Grinnell College
Ingraham was a triple champ in a dual meet at NAIA powerhouse St. Ambrose University Saturday. He won the 200-yard butterfly in 1 minute, 53.89 seconds, 200 backstroke in 1:55.11 and 200 individual medley in 1:56.54. His IM time ranks 13th in program history.
Women’s Swim and Dive Performer of the Week
Isabella Rozenbergas, Lake Forest College
Rozenbergas broke three pool records as Lake Forest defeated Illinois Institute of Technology 151-81 on Saturday. The sophomore's victorious times of 2:20.74 in the 200m-IM and 1:01.69 in the 100m-butterfly were the best in the 57-year history of the Sports and Recreation Center pool with the first of those marks shattering the previous record by seven seconds. Rozenbergas also anchored the Foresters' 400m-freestyle relay, which won the race by 31 seconds and added a third pool record to her tally for the day. Converting the times from our 25-meter pool to the standard 25 yards would give her a 2:06.74 in the 200-IM and 55.93 for the 100-fly, which would be faster than anyone else has swam in the conference in either event so far this season.
Men’s Indoor Track Performer of the Week
Josh Yearby, Beloit College
Yearby continued his dominance in the sprints over the weekend. He took first in the 200m dash, tying his school record with a time of 22.24 seconds. That time sits second in the Midwest Conference and 35th in DIII. To top that, he finished second in the 60m dash (6.81 seconds), breaking his own school record for the second weekend in a row. His time clocks in at second in the MWC, behind the DIII leader, and places him 14th in DIII.
Men’s Indoor Field Performer of the Week
Hadley Beaty, Cornell College
Beaty won the long jump at Wartburg's Friday Knight Lights, breaking his own school record at 23 feet, 0.75 inches. The mark leads the MWC and ranks No. 27 nationally.
Women’s Indoor Track Performer of the Week
Ava Claussen-Tubbs, Cornell College
Claussen-Tubbs placed second in the 800 at Wartburg's Friday Knight Lights with a time of 2:16.47 that ranks No. 1 in the MWC and No. 15 nationally. The senior also anchored the 4x400 relay that posted an MWC-leading time of 4:15.36.
Women’s Indoor Field Performer of the Week
Hailey Carolan, Cornell College
Carolan placed second in the high jump at Wartburg's Friday Knight Lights, clearing a season-best 5 feet, 5.25 inches. The mark ranks No. 2 in the MWC and No. 13 nationally.
Men’s Tennis Performer of the Week
Lucas Willett, Grinnell College
Willett got his spring season off to a great start, winning both singles and doubles matches in the Pioneers’ 5-2 victory at Midland University. He claimed his No. 1 singles match 6-4, 6-3 and posted a 6-2 win with Albert Bostoen ’26 at No. 1 doubles.
