NORMAL, Ill. – For the second time this season Illinois State freshman gymnast Angelica Labat has been honored by the Midwest Independent Conference, this time as the league's Newcomer of the Week for her performance last week in a victory over Northern Illinois.
The Chesapeake, Virginia, native continues to impress in her first competitive season for the Redbirds. She was previously awarded with MIC Performance of the Week honors after she recorded a career-best effort of 9.925 on beam to finish in second place for ISU in a tri-meet with Central Michigan and Michigan State two weeks ago.
