After completing a 17-1 season, earning a perfect 6-0 Mid-American Conference record, becoming the 2002 MAC regular season champions and becoming the winningest team in BG history, one would think that there is nothing else left to accomplish for the BG women's gymnastics squad. However, senior Marny Oestreng, junior Ann Marie Kassouf and freshman Kari Elste have something else left to do. The trio have earned spots on the Central Regional team which will compete at the 2002 NCAA Regionals to be held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on April 6.
Oestreng finished the regular season tied for third in the MAC in the vault (9.900), tied for third on the bars (9.875), tied for fifht on the beam (9.825), tied for second in the floor (9.925), and third in the all-around (39.400). Kassouf ended the year tied for sixth in the vaukt, (9.800), tied for fifth in the bars (9.825), tied for eighth on the beam, tied for fifth in the floor and ranked 12th in the all-around (38.775). Elste, the lone freshman, was tied for third in the bars (9.875).
Oestreng will represent BG and the Central Region in the all-around competition while Kassouf and Elste will be alternates in the all-around and the bars events, respectively.
