There were many highlights from Sunday’s home-opening meet for ISU. Haylee Hardin claimed a podium spot on floor for the Cyclones (9.925). Her score marked a new season high. Junior Noelle Adams also gained a new season high score with a 9.875 on floor. Finley Weldon had a standout performance on beam, tallying up a 9.75 for Iowa State.

“It was really fun to finally open our season at Hilton tonight, we had a great crowd and Cyclone Nation really showed up for these girls. This entire season has been filled with bright spots, I mean Haylee Hardin, what a way to close out the meet. Finley Weldon’s beam was incredible. To have a freshman anchor and doing what she did was huge. Moving forward, it is only up from here,” said Head Coach Ashley Miles Greig.
