Support Jenelle Rogers' Olympic Dream

Donation protected
Hello! I'm Sarah Carlson, former track and field coach at Oswego High School. Jenelle Rogers, 2020 OHS graduate, has finished competing for her college, Ball State, and is now continuing to compete unattached. Until she is sponsored, the costs of competing unattached are not covered, so we're looking to raise funds so she can keep competing, and get back to the Olympic Trials in 2028.

Jenelle competes mainly in the heptathlon, which consists of 7 events over the course of 2 days: shot put, long jump, high jump, javelin, 800 meter run, 100 meter hurdles, and 200 meter dash.

A little background info on Jenelle --
  • OHS school record holder in the high jump (5'9") and 4x400 relay (4:00.13)
  • 3rd place in state for high jump sophomore year, 2nd place in state for high jump junior year
  • Honorary ESPY winner in 2020

Collegiate Accomlishments --
  • 7x MAC Conference Champion
  • 15x MAC Conference Medalist
  • 4x First-Team All MAC (2023-2025)
  • 2x MAC Conference MVP (2023, 2024)
  • 2x MAC Conference Most Outstanding Field Performer (2024, 2025)
  • USTFCCA All-Academic Team (2022)
  • 4x NCAA Division I All-American (2023, 2024)
  • Ball State Track and Field Record Holder (Indoor Shot Put , Outdoor Long Jump, Pentathlon, Hepthalon)

Jenelle also competed at the 2024 Olympic Trials in the heptathlon and finished 10th overall, which puts her among the best athletes in the country for her event. She also competed for Team USA in a meet in Germany in 2024.

She is an outstanding student as well, making the dean's list every semester at Ball State.

Here's what Jenelle has to say about herself, her accomplishements, and her dreams:

"Driven, disciplined pentathlete and heptathlete with professional aspirations, experienced in multi-event competition and high-performance training. Seeking sponsorships to secure essential support for competing at the highest levels—covering training, travel, and equipment costs. Offering a platform for brand partnership and visibility across diverse events, this financial backing is an investment in my athletic career and a chance for sponsors to align with a dedicated athlete committed to excellence and inspiring Olympic dreams."

You could not ask for a better, more deserving athlete to support. Please contribute what you can, and share with local community members and Business. Funds raised will help offset the costs of entry fees, hotel stays, flights, and equipment necessary for competition.
