KENT, Ohio – For the second time this season, a Kent State gymnast has been named the Mid-American Conference Specialist of the Week, as senior Dara Williams took home the award following her career-high performance against Western Michigan on Friday at the Pink Meet.
Williams sparked a huge night for Kent State on Friday, as she set a career-high 9.925 on bars and led the Flashes to a season-high 49.025 on the event. Williams took home the individual bars title by .075 over the second-place finisher.
The team captain earned her seventh event win of the season, which leads the team. Williams also recorded a 9.800 on vault to finish in second place. Her impact helped the Flashes to its second-best home score of the season at 195.700. She also recorded a career-high 9.900 on vault earlier this season.
