ST. PETER, Minn. – The Gustavus gymnastics team is set to take on UW-Stout at 6 p.m. Friday in Menomonie, Wis. for a dual meet. The Gusties are coming off a 180.775-180.200 victory over Winona State last Tuesday in St. Peter. Gustavus’s score against Winona State was the highest in 12 years and first dual victory since 2013.
Last week against Winona State, for the second meet in a row, Alex Kopp (Jr., Wayzata, Minn.) won the all-around as she scored a 37.150. Kopp took first place in three of four events, scoring a 9.550 on the vault, 9.425 on the balance beam, and a 9.475 on the floor. For her performance, Kopp was named WIAC Specialist of the Week, one week removed from earning the league’s All-Around Gymnast of the Week.
