THIS WEEK'S COMPETITION: UW-Stout, and the entire WIAC conference, will converge on UW-Whitewater Saturday, March 5 for the WIAC/NCGA West Regional Gymnastics Championship (presented by Culver's). The meet is slated to begin at 4 p.m. The 2021 event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 championship was held at UW-Eau Claire and the Blue Devils finished fourth.
