While it wasnโt quite as successful as the first, there was still a lot to celebrate.
The team once again finished high enough to compete in the late session of the Big 12 Championships. Its gymnasts were also recognized as some of the best in the conference. Senior Emma Strom and junior Abigayle Martin both earned All-Big 12 recognition, as announced by the conference on Wednesday.
Strom earned the honors on floor exercise. Martin earned her accolades on balance beam and all-around. Strom had a heartbreaking senior day last week when she was injured in warmups and didnโt get to compete.
It doesnโt take anything away from a spectacular season for the senior who regularly competed in floor exercise and vault this year. Her national qualifying score (NQS) of 9. 925 was earned her All-Big 12 honors on floor exercise.
