Shreveport – Senior Lacey Wedge (Belle Chasse, La.) has been selected as the MIC Gymnast of the Week, the Midwest Independent Conference announced on Tuesday.
Wedge earns the prestigious honor for the first time in her career and is the first Centenary gymnast to win it this season. She earned one of the four individual honors that the conference chooses on a weekly basis. Kaitlyn Hoiland of Texas Woman's University was named Newcomer of the Week and her teammate, Brooke Ferrari earned Performance of the Week honors.
Wedge highlighted the Ladies' performance last Friday in their tri-meet against the host West Chester University Golden Rams and the William & Mary Tribe at West Chester, Pa. as she won on floor with a new career-high 9.85 and finished second on vault with a career-high tying 9.725.
Wedge continued her impressive senior season after earning a 9.80 on floor in the Feb. 26 meet which at the time was a new career high in her final appearance in the Gold Dome. Her career high on floor coming into the season was a 9.575 and she has now scored a 9.60 or higher six times this season and 9.70 or higher four times. She previously scored a 9.725 on vault last month in a tri-meet against the host Air Force Academy Falcons and the UC-Davis Aggies in Colorado. Her win on Friday is the first of her career.
She is the first Centenary gymnast to claim a MIC Weekly award since sophomore Amy Foret (Bedford, Texas) was selected as the MIC Newcomer of the Week, on March 9, 2023.
The Ladies placed second last Sunday versus host Cornell University in Ithaca, NY with a 188.225 score Centenary return to action next Sunday, March 17 as they face the host Texas Woman's University Pioneers, Michigan State University, and Rutgers University in a quad meet hosted by the Pioneers inside Kitty Magee Arena in Denton, Texas at 8 p.m.
