Specialist: Lynn Morris, Fr., Monticell, IND (Twin Lakes)
Morris led the Blugolds to a fifth place finish at the NCGA Championships in Eau Claire as well as finishing in a tie for first place in individual competition on the balance beam. Morris was the catalyst for the Blugolds in team competition on Friday in setting the school record in the balance beam. Morris placed first among all competitors with her score of 9.525 which eclipsed the previous school record of 9.475 also held by Morris. Morris also performed well in the uneven bars competition, finishing with a score of 9.225 and helping the Blugolds break the former school record. Eau Claire finished the event with a final of 44.325 to pass the earlier record of 43.175.

In the individual competition on Saturday, Morris participated in the balance beam and the uneven bars where she became just the second Blugolds in history to win an individual event at nationals. Morris finished in a tie for first on the beam as she opened up with a 9.525 on her first routine and followed that up with a score of 9.575 in the second round for a final tally of 19.100. Her second round score of 9.575 set the school record in the event. Morris also competed in the uneven bars where she garnered All-American honors with her fourth place finish. She finished with a total score of 18.550 with her second round score of 9.325 also setting the school record. When all was said and done, Morris had claimed the Blugolds only individual championship since 1985, was named an All-American in two separate events, and led the Blugolds to a fifth place finish in team competition, a tie for their best result ever.
