Illinois State has surged over the past four seasons, finishing in the low 50s to low 40s each year. That progression was led in good part by fan-favorite all-arounder Angelica Labat, who graduated after five brilliant seasons. 2025 will look very different without her leadership, but the Redbirds caught some transfers from now-defunct Lindenwood and are bringing in former four-star recruit and strong all-arounder Savannah Ray, as well as former three-star Abbey Harris, to help.
2024 Rewind
No. 44 overall | No. 3 at MICs | No. 44 in regular season
The Redbirds had a chaotic 2024 for non-gymnastics reasons, when Nirel Bart-Williams disappeared from lineups; she was found to have been dealing with legal issues and was removed from the roster. Her absence was followed by a few short-term lineup absences, but the Redbirds just kept finding depth. Bars and beam suffered the most from the lineup shuffling, but altogether Illinois State had a very good year.
