THIS WEEK'S COMPETITION:  The Blue Devils were scheduled to open the 2022 season by traveling to UW-Oshkosh Friday, Jan. 14, but that meet was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols. Instead, Stout is now scheduled to open the season when they host UW-La Crosse, Friday, Jan. 21 at 6 p.m.

LAST SEASON: The COVID-19 pandemic forced all sports to rethink their schedule and WIAC gymnastics had four dual meets beginning in late February and ending in early April. The Blue Devils were 3-1 last season, defeating Gustavus Adolphus, Hamline University and UW-Eau Claire. Fans were not allowed in attendance during the 2021 season. The WIAC Championship was canceled, as was the NCGA Championship for the second consecutive year. None of the teams in the NCGA's East Regional conducted competitive seasons last winter.


A LOOK AT THE BLUE DEVILS
  • The Blue Devils have one senior, four juniors, four sophomores and seven freshmen on their 2022 roster.
  • Mikala Bugge is Stout's only senior. This is Bugge's sixth season with the Blue Devils. Bugge is a three-time All-American, and earned first team All-America honors in 2019 when she placed second in the all-around. Finished first on floor exercise at 2019 WIAC Championship. 
  • Carlie Beatty finished fifth on the uneven bars at the 2020 WIAC Championship. 
  • Mikala Bugge, Carlie Beatty and Chloe Beatty are the only returning Blue Devils to have competed at a WIAC Championship meet. 
  • The Blue Devils finished the COVID-19 shortened season at 3-1 last year. The season was shortened to four dual meets, with no WIAC or NCGA Championships.
  • The Blue Devils finished fourth at the 2020 WIAC Championship/NCGA West Regional.
  • Stout won their first ever WIAC Championship/NCGA West Regional title in 2019 and finished second at the 2019 NCGA Championship, their best-ever finish.

UW-STOUT LAST TIME OUT:
  • The Blue Devils were to compete in a triangular at UW-Oshkosh Jan. 14. But that triangular was canceled after both UW-Stout and UW-Whitewater had to cancel. UW-Oshkosh traveled instead to Hamline to compete with the Pipers and Winona State. 

UW-LA CROSSE: UW-La Crosse is the only WIAC team to have competed twice so far this season. The Eagles opened the season with a 185.650-181.975 win over Gustavus Adolphus College. The Eagles traveled to NCAA Division II Lindenwood University,Jan. 15, increasing their overall score, but lost the face-to-face meeting, 191.325-188.750. Emma Grant and Cate Sandvik recorded second-place finishes for UWL on Saturday night with Grant second on the balance beam (9.800) and Sandvik tied for second on the floor exercise (9.725).  Sandvik was also sixth on the balance beam (9.650). Grant's score of 9.800 on the balance beam is tied for the fourth-highest in school history. The Eagles' Sara Beck tied for third on the vault (9.575) with Madi Vanderpool fifth (9.550). Kyla Dickson, Megan Hawkins and Alex Wood all tied for sixth (9.525).  Rachel Chesley and Jessica Taylor tied for fourth on the floor exercise (9.625) while Jenna Danninger finished sixth (9.600). UWL's Kerrie Legault finished fourth (9.550) on the uneven parallel bars with Vanderpool tied for fifth (9.525).
