Missouri, Rachel Updike (9.925)

Missouri freshman Rachel Updike won the vault, beam and floor titles in Mizzou's upset over #16 Denver at home in the Pink Meet. At this second home meet, Rachel Updike took the floor title as the Mizzou team pulled out a victory against the University of Denver. This was only Updike's third time competing floor at the collegiate level and she dealt with the pressure almost perfectly. She combines amplitude with grace to give her routine an extra kick, separating her from the rest of her competition. Updike displays the level of depth the Tiger Gymnastics team has been working to build. Updike has been named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year nine times this season and will represent Mizzou as an all-around competitor at the NCAA Nationals.
