Kent State's Memorial Athletic and Convocation (M.A.C.) Center will host the second annual Beauty and the Beast event Sunday, January 19 at 2 p.m., as both the gymnastics and wrestling teams host North Carolina State with simultaneous action on one floor.
The Golden Flashes are 3-1 after picking up two wins and one loss Friday in a quad meet at the M.A.C. Center. Kent State defeated Eastern Michigan for their first conference win of the season, 194.475-192.750, and topped George Washington 194.475-193.400. The Flashes fell to No. 16 Rutgers 195.250-194.475.
Freshman Olivia Trout tied for first in the balance beam (9.800) with Rutgers' Alexis Gunzelman. Junior Nicole Radon tied for second in floor exercise (9.850) with Chelsea Raineri of George Washington as Trout and Radon were the top two placers for the Golden Flashes.
Senior Marie Case tied for fifth in the vault (9.825) as junior Chelsea Drooger tied for fifth with sophomore Jaymi Baxter and Case in the uneven parallel bars with scores of 9.800. Case finished second in the all-around competition with a final score of 38.725, Luisa Leal from Rutgers took first (39.125).
An Entertainment-Filled Event
Prior to the Beauty and the Beast event, kids can enter a coloring contest. The winner will receive a Future Flashes prize pack. A $100 gift card to the bookstore will be given to one male and one female Kent State student in the best Beauty & the Beast costumes. After the competition, wrestlers and gymnasts will be signing autographs. At last season's Beauty and the Beast, Kent State's gymnastics team defeated Rutgers 195.675-193.70, while the Flashes' wrestling team pinned Cleveland State 31-10.
