RIPON, Wis. -- Ripon College junior Joley Berger (Dunbar, Wis., Pembine HS) has once again been named the Midwest Conference (MWC) Women's Cross Country Performer of the Week, earning the honor for the third time this season.

Berger continued her impressive 2026 campaign at last week's Carleton-hosted Pre-National Invite, placing sixth in the top division of the race. She completed the 6K course in 21:33.0, recording the fastest 6K time in the MWC this season.

The performance marked another standout showing for Berger, who has now earned the conference's Performer of the Week honor following each race she has competed in this season.

Berger has established herself as one of the top runners in the MWC throughout the 2026 season, consistently finishing among the leaders while helping the Red Hawks compete at a high level against some of the region's top competition.

With her latest honor, Berger becomes a three-time MWC Women's Cross Country Performer of the Week this season.

Berger and the Red Hawks will return to action Saturday, Oct 10, at the Gene Davis Invite in Appleton, Wis.
