UW-Stout and UW-Whitewater at Winona State

Recap 

The Big Storyline: Not to be outdone by Oshkosh and Brockport, UW-Whitewater also surpassed the 190 threshold for the first time this season. Stout and Winona State also posted season highs. 

Implications: Crossing the 190 mark puts Whitewater into the top tier of NCGA teams so far this season. After a somewhat lack-luster performance earlier this weekend, the Warhawks will be happy to have shown what they’re really made of. The Whitewater vault squad really impressed, counting only scores above 9.525. Although this performance was five points superior to its last meet, Whitewater still left some tenths on the table. Stout was led by Krulich’s 9.800 on floor and sixth year Mikala Bugge’s 9.700 on vault. Although the Blue Devils still had some inconsistency, they’ll be happy that more scores are creeping into the 9.6-plus range. Bars and beam were a bit of a struggle for Winona State this weekend. However, Izzy Kropiwiec’s huge 9.750 on floor and Kennedy O’Connor’s 9.700 on vault were stand out performances. The Warriors continue to be on the upswing. Hopefully that continues as we move into February.
