UW-Stout at Hamline

Recap

The Big Storyline: UW-Stout dominated the competition, taking all of the event victories. Mikala Bugge continued her reign as vault champion while Kiara Brown’s combination of powerful tumbling and fun choreography brought her another title of her own. Hamline posted a season high team total following the best floor rotation of the season. The bar lineup is still finding its way, but the other three events are getting back on track. 

Implications: This meet really shouldn’t make any major changes in the team NCGA rankings this week. Mikala Bugge will move up to the sole holder of the fourth spot in the in progress vault rankings while teammate Kiara Brown remains the No. 1 bar performer in the country. Brown’s debut all-around performance is also among the top averages in the nation. The Blue Devils will look to continue to keep the ball rolling in the second half of the season. The team will need to cross the 190 threshold to challenge the top four teams.
