Sarah Hulbert (Jr.-Waukesha, Wis./North) and RachelAnn Anderson (Fr.-Maple Grove, Minn.) also earned all-conference honors. Hulbert tied for fifth place on the vault with a 9.400 while Anderson recorded a career-high of 9.550 in the floor exercise to take sixth. On the uneven bars, Samantha Howard (Sr.-St. Paul, Minn./Henry Sibley) had the Blugolds' best finish as she tied for 11th with a 9.000. Following the conclusion of the championship, Lanai Peer (So.-Prior Lake, Minn.) was named to the WIAC All-Sportsmanship Team, which is chosen for individuals that displayed exemplary sportsmanship throughout the season.
