For the top five teams in NCGA, not much changed except for the pressure they’ve all started to put on one another, including Brockport rolling over Division I Cornell. Brockport has started to put some distance between itself and the rest of the competition, leading the field by over a point. Missing from the NCGA meet coverage this weekend was Springfield College. Last seen Sunday Feb. 6, the ESPN coverage was lacking and glossed over nearly all of its routines, including a career-high by MacKenzie MacLeod. Even if the video isn’t always available, we can always bring viewers the latest news in Division III. Stay tuned in as the race within the NCGA continues to heat up.
Angelica Schuyler Award
Rhode Island College, beam, 47.350
Much like Angelica Schuyler, the Anchorwomen are never satisfied with their previously broken records. This week they broke the program beam record again, following up last week’s broken beam record, but only after going two weeks in a row with new individual or team program records on floor.
Champagne Shape Queen of the Week
Kaylin Knapsack, beam, 9.325
Pike jumps don’t get enough credit for how difficult they truly are, and how much superhero strength it takes to pull off, let alone execute beautifully. Enter Ursinus and Kaylin Knapsack. Pike jumps will never look as good. It’s like trying real Champagne for the first time.
Live Stream Experience of the Week
UW-Oshkosh @ Winona State
The highlight of our Thursday night was guessing how the beam routine was going based on purely team reactions while also listening to students getting a tutorial on how live feeds work. Don’t worry. The camera did eventually get moved so both beam and floor were visible simultaneously. It just gave us a good laugh.

Just a minor correction – Rhode Island College broke the beam record, not the floor record
