NORMAL — Illinois State senior Gabrielle Cooke and freshman Angelica Labat were honored by the Midwest Independent Conference for their performances during the gymnastics season.
Cooke was named the MIC Co-Senior of the Year and Labat was named the MIC Newcomer of the Year in a vote conducted by the league’s head coaches.
One of three gymnasts to tie for the Senior of the Year award, Cooke shared the annual honor with Cami Bea Austin of Centenary and Ryan Henry of Lindenwood. Cooke had a slow start to the year, after injuring her ankle just before the first meet of the season which limited her tumbling, vaulting and dismounts.
