UW-La Crosse at UW-Whitewater

Recap 

The Big Storyline: UW-Whitewater posted its third 190-plus in a row en route to another conference win. The Warhawks have found their consistency in the last few competitions and have not taken their foot off the gas. Welsh, Kollhoff and North proved to play an integral role in the team’s success. Counting multiple mistakes on bars held the Eagles back this week. Staple performers like Olivia Opheim and Emma Grant continued to perform well despite some mistakes on the first two rotations. The Eagles proved that they are capable of bouncing back from adversity. 

Implications: UW-Whitewater and UW-La Crosse will remain in the third and fourth spots in the NCGA rankings, respectively. Faith Mylin and Emily North are both among the top 10 all-arounders in the country at the moment as well. If Whitewater continues to perform this way, it will be a top contender for the WIAC and NCGA titles. UW-La Crosse will want to put this bars performance behind it and put together some more complete competitions the rest of the season. Staying above 190 will be the goal going forward to stay among the top teams. 

Records: Emily North’s 9.800 on floor marked a new career high and was enough for an event title.
