Rogers Selected to NCAA Competition Oversight Committee

Nebraska high jumper Jenna Rogers, a rising junior from Rutherford, N.J., was appointed a student-athlete representative of the NCAA Division I Competition Oversight Committee on Friday.

The committee focuses on overall student-athlete experience and administration of regular season and championship competition for sports other than football and men’s and women’s basketball. 

Rogers is a three-time Big Ten champion and four-time All-American in the high jump. Last week, Rogers won the NACAC U23 high jump title in Costa Rica. 

Outside of athletics, Rogers was named an Academic All-Big Ten honoree in 2022 and 2023, has been a part of the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll since Fall 2020 and was a member of the 2023 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.

Rogers’ position will run from August 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025.

About the NCAA Competition Oversight Committee
The Competition Oversight Committee will have oversight responsibility of regular season and championships administration in sports other than football and men’s and women’s basketball, including supervision of qualification and/or selection procedures for Division I and National Collegiate Championships. The committee will prioritize enhancement of the student-athlete educational experience (academically and athletically) and, in doing so, promote student-athletes’ personal growth and leadership development.

The Competition Oversight Committee will review recommendations from sports committees and process other issues related to the administration of those championships. The sports committees (other than football and men’s and women’s basketball) will report directly to the Competition Oversight Committee. The committee will assume many of the responsibilities of the former NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet. The NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee, an Association-wide committee, will report Division I issues directly to the Competition Oversight Committee.
