SEMO Hosts CC in Annual Pink Meet
Southeast Missouri gymnastics will host Midwest Independent Conference opponent Centenary in its annual Pink Meet Friday at 6:30 p.m. There will be a t-shirt given to the first 250 people through the doors promoting breast cancer awareness. The Redhawks are 41-5 all-time against the Ladies. SEMO currently ranks fifth in the conference, averaging a 190.117 and are coming off its best meet of the season after scoring a 191.875 against Illinois State.

Looking at the Opponents
Last Week, Centenary finished third in a tri meet against Texas Woman's and BYU. The Ladies scored their second-best total on the season, tallying a 191.300. Ashley White leads the way for CC, ranking eighth in the conference in the all-around with a score of 38.462.

MIC Top 10s
Through six meets, the Redhawks have several student-athletes ranked in the top ten in conference. Alexis Brawner (6th-38.579) and Ashley Thomas (9th-38.271) rank among the top all-arounders in the MIC. Brawner sits in the top five on vault (4th-9.738) and floor (3rd-9.783). Thomas moves up to sixth on floor with a 9.700 average.

Senior Spotlight
Ashley Thomas is the lone senior heading into the 2017 campaign. Thomas is the active leader in scores of 9.700 or higher with 71 total. In her first three years, Thomas has garnered five all-conference honors and reached the NCAA Regional in Norman, Oklahoma as a sophomore, where she placed ninth in the all-around competition. Thomas will look to cap off an already stellar career in her final season as a Redhawk.

2016 Improvement
The Redhawks improved upon their 2015 season, that saw them place fourth at the MIC Championship, with a second-place finish in 2016. They narrowly fell to LU, who collected its programs second conference title in as many years. SEMO will look to build off of last season and claim its first title since 2014.

MIC Hardware
SEMO had a strong 2016 season that saw several Redhawks bring home a number of awards throughout the year. On top of bringing home the MIC Gymnast of the Year Trophy (Alexis Brawner) and sending three to an NCAA Regional (Brawner, Lauren Israel and McKinzie Jones), Southeast also earned 13 first and second-team all-conference honors as well as eight weekly honors.

First of Two
Southeast Missouri gymnastics will compete in its first of two dual-meet weekends. The Redhawks will take on Wisconsin-Whitewater, Winona State and Wisconsin-Eau Claire in the Harley Davidson Meet in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Friday. SEMO holds a combined 29-2 dual record against these three teams. Southeast will wrap up the weekend Sunday with a dual meet against Midwest Independent Conference opponent Illinois State. ISU is currently second in the conference with an average team score of 192.784.
