2022 All-WIAC Gymnastics Team
MENOMONIE (March 14, 2022) -
Effie Ferguson (Fr, Mississauga, Ontario) and
Kiara Brown (So, Whitewood, S.D) both scored second place finishes at the 2022 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Gymnastics Championship last weekend at UW-Whitewater and earned All-WIAC honors.
Ferguson captured second on the balance beam, scoring a 9.725, just short of her career-best 9.750 on the event. Ferguson also finished in a three-way tie for seventh on the floor exercise, scoring a collegiate-best 9.675.
Brown was just shy of breaking 38.000 in the all-around, where she claimed second with a career-best score of 37.925. Her previous best all-around score was a 37.750. Brown finished tied for 20th on the vault with a 9.500, was eighth on the uneven bars with a personal-best and team individual high 9.650, was 30th on the balance beam with a 9.175 and 12th on the floor exercise with a 9.600.
This is the first all-conference award for both gymnasts. Both Effinger and Brown will compete at the NCGA Championship, March 26, at Ithaca (N.Y.) College, Ferguson on the beam and Brown on the uneven bars.
The All-Conference Team reflects the top six finishers in each event from the WIAC Championship. The WIAC meet is held in conjunction with the NCGA West Regional Meet.
