Trent Wainfeld has been named Northwest Conference Student-Athlete of the Week following a stellar four-game stretch that helped Linfield sweep Whitman on the road and extend its win streak to five.
 
The junior from Los Angeles batted .611 over four games, driving in 11 runs, scoring nine times, and tallying three doubles and a home run.
 
Wainfeld's week reached a peak in Friday's series opener at Whitman, where he erupted for five hits in five at-bats, clubbed a home run, two doubles, and drove in six runs while scoring six of his own.
 
Wainfeld now leads Linfield with a .398 batting average and is second on the team in on base percentage at .491. His consistency has been a driving force behind the Wildcats' late-season surge.
 
The Granada Hills Charter School product is a finance major at Linfield and is the son of Gabe and Suzanne Wainfeld.
