Things are heating up as Week 6 was rich with upsets and new history that’ll keep you on the edge of your couch while you watch. Cornell didn’t count a single fall for the first time this season, Alix Pierce said “Bars? Bars who?”, West Chester just beat out Penn by an eyelash, and Brown’s individual floor record inches closer to being broken. SEMO holds tight and is putting all the pieces together to catch its stride as it looks towards the rest of the season.
Superlatives
Performance of the Week
This week’s 9.925 on floor from Julia Bedell tied her for the school record. That feat becomes even more momentous when considering that the mark ties her with Olympian Alicia Sacramone Quinn, among other Brown greats. As Bedell is just a sophomore, there’s much more to come for this athlete.
Bounce Back Award
After an uncharacteristic mistake on bars, Alix Pierce hit the ground running for the rest of the competition, claiming the victory on beam and floor while eclipsing a previous career high. There’s something to be said about the mental toughness of an athlete who can put it all behind them to compete the routine of their life.
Recovery Masterclass
