THIS WEEK'S COMPETITION: The Blue Devils (3-4) return home for the final home meet of the season when they host
UW-La Crosse, Friday, Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. Friday is Parent's Night, as well as Senior Night and the Blue Devils will recognize
Rachel Hasting, who will wrap up her collegiate career this season.
A LOOK AT THE BLUE DEVILS
- UW-Stout moved up two spots in the latest NCGA rankings, moving up from 12th to 10th this week. Stout is currently averaging 183.721. The Blue Devils have scored as high as 186.575 in a win over UW-Eau Claire.
- The Blue Devils' all-arounders have been putting up big scores and Brooke Terry and Sierra Beaver are ranked in the top 10. Terry has shot up to No. 4 among all NCGA all-arounders and is averaging 36.940. Beaver is ranked seventh among all NCGA all-arounders and is averaging 36.920. Beaver posted a season-best 37.425 in a meet with UW-Oshkosh.
- In the latest national rankings posted on the Road to Nationals site, Beaver is ranked seventh on the uneven bars (9.460), MacKenzie Nicholson is ranked 14th on the bars (9.095) and Mallory Dick is ranked 19th (9.038). Terry is ranked 12th on the balance beam (9.329).
- Youth will be served this year. With no seniors and only three juniors, the Blue Devils will be leaning heavily on youth this season. But the seven-member sophomore class is a battle-tested group, as are the three juniors who have been part of two nationally qualifying teams. Those two qualifying teams included last year's fifth place NCGA Championship finish, which was held in Menomonie. The fifth place was Stout's best finish at the NCGA since 1984, but the team was less than a half-point out of third place. Sophomore Mikala Bugge earned All-American honors with a 12th place finish on the vault. MacKenzie Nicholson qualified individually to the NCGA Championship in the uneven bars. Earlier in the season, Nicholson set the school record on the bars with a 9.775.
