UW-W started off senior day with a 47.500 team score on the vault, the ninth highest vault score in the school record book. The Warhawks also took the top four places in the event with Katie Thompson (Kingsport, TN/Sullivan South) leading the way with a 9.65, tied for tenth best in school history. Cici Talcott (Kentwood, MI/) grabbed second with a 9.6, tied for tenth in the UW-W record book and teammates Siri Wischmann (Delano, MN/Delano) and Kaitlyn Weber (Kansas City, MO/Oak Park) earned third and fourth with scores of 9.525 and 9.450 respectively.

GAC was able to close the gap a little in the next two rotations but the Warhawks finished out the meet in style on the floor exercise. Even though only five of six scores count towards the team score on each apparatus, the Warhawks swept the top six places on the floor. Allyse Dieringer (Germantown, WI/Germantown) and Young tied for top honors, each recording a 9.625, tied for the nineteenth highest floor routine score in the school's record book. Talcott and Thompson notched third and fourth registering a 9.6 and 9.525 respectively. Weber and Wischmann recorded scores of 9.425 and 9.4 for fifth and sixth. The top five scores totaled 47.800, the sixth best team floor score in school history.

Thompson won the all-around competition with a 36.975 and Weber followed in second recording a 35.225 in the four events.

Continuing to etch 2012 into the record book, UW-W totaled 184.100 in the meet, a score that ranks twenty-first.

Whitewater will head to Eau Claire, Wisconsin Saturday, March 3 for the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association West Regional/Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference meet hosted by UW-Eau Claire with a 4:00 pm scheduled start time.
