Kural Earns Recognition
Freshman Jaslynn Kural was named an Honorable Mention for the NCATA Freshman of the Week, last Wednesday. Kural competed in 11 heats over two meets this past week at Wheeling (Mar. 1) and West Liberty (Mar. 4). In compulsory, Kural notched program-highs in the compulsory toss (9.65/10), 5L acro (9.45/9.7), inversion pyramid (9.35/9.7) and a near-perfect toss heat (8.95/9). The Wesley Chapel, Fla. native helped the Golden Griffins score a program-best 79.140/93.45 in the team event en route to a program-high 238.465 points at Wheeling last Sunday.

Rematch With the Bengals

Topping the Bengals 231.100-195.195, the Griffs came out on top in every single category which included a near-perfect 9.35 in the compulsory toss heat. A 73.950 team event score helped the Blue and Gold nail in the win.

Checking in at No. 8 in the national rankings, Mary Hardin-Baylor holds a 2-2 record this season. The Crusaders only losses have come against ranked opponents, falling to No. 1 Baylor and No. 5 Augustana. Mary Hardin-Baylor has put up 245 points-or-more in all four outings this season.
