Let’s elevate and reach for the bars with Audrey Baun for our girl’s play of the week. The Wildcat impresses the judge thoroughly with her routine, which includes a beautiful double tuck to cap the performance. That lands her a favorable 8.85 score and NSW’s Play of the Week, presented by Trunnell Insurance.
Full Event Recap
Neuqua Valley Wildcats hosting their second home meet of the season. WV/MV co-op technically the visitors – with the team also using the Neuqua gym as their home facility… so everyone is feeling the home “mat” advantage. Both schools coming off wins against Naperville Central.

We start on the runway with the Co-Op and Victoria Swanski… Off the spring board with a half twist…garners her an 8.3 to open up the night.
Wildcat Hailey Fitzgerald’s turn on the apparatus. She pulls off a yurechanko half twist and lands an 8.15 score.
