BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. \u2013 A record five members of head coach\u00a0Kelsey Kyle<\/a><\/dfn>‘s West Liberty University acrobatics & tumbling team earned All-Mountain East Conference honors on Thursday as the MEC coaches released the 2023 All-Conference honor roll.<\/p>\n

Hilltopper senior\u00a0Abbey Swinderman<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0was joined by the sophomore duo of\u00a0Kayla Gandy<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0and\u00a0Gillian Hartz<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0on the first-team All-MEC unit with sophomore\u00a0Abbey Horvath<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0and graduate student\u00a0Paige McGlothlin<\/a><\/dfn>\u00a0earning second-team laurels. The five All-MEC selections are a program high.<\/p>\n

Horvath, McGlothlin and Swinderman are repeat honorees. Horvath was the 2022 MEC Freshman of the Year while Swinderman was a two-time All-MEC selection at Glenville State before transferring to WLU over the summer. This marks the second consecutive All-MEC honor for McGlothlin.<\/p>\n

Swinderman, a senior mid and base from Beaver Falls, Pa. and Blackhawk High School, was a key performer in multiple events for the Black and Gold this spring. A mid for all pyramid heats, she also based for Compulsory Acro, 5-Element Acro and the Toss Event while also participating in the Team Event as a tumbler.<\/p>\n

Gandy, a sophomore top and tumbler from Washington, Pa. and Trinity High School, emerged as one of the top performers in the MEC this spring. She served as a top for every Compulsory, Acro, Pyramid and Toss Events that she competed in, helping set a school-record 9.85 in the Compulsory Pyramid during a win at Notre Dame. An MEC Athlete of the Week selection, Gandy’s abilities fueled higher start values in multiple events, including a new Aerial Pass in Tumbling that she just brought to the mat.<\/p>\n

Hartz, a sophomore top, tumbler and base from Duquesne, Pa. and West Mifflin High School, competed at a high level throughout the season as one of the most versatile Hilltoppers. She competed in all three individual Tumbling Event passes, setting a school record in her first attempt at the 6-Element Pass. In addition, she served as a top and\/or base in multiple heats for Acro, Pyramid and Toss.<\/p>\n

Horvath, a sophomore base from Wellsburg, W.Va. and Brooke High School, was one of the busiest Hilltoppers this spring. A strong base in Compulsory Acro along with the 6- and 7-Element Acro heats, she is a “lifter” for all of the pyramid heats she competes in and also backs multiple tosses. While she doesn’t compete in the Tumbling Event, she contributes as a tumbler in the Team Event and is regarded as the strongest student-athlete on the team.<\/p>\n

McGlothlin, a graduate student base and tumbler from St. Clairsville, Ohio and St. Clairsville High School, had a major impact when she decided to return for her final season of eligibility. A strong base for Compulsory Acro and the 6-Element Acro heat, she serves as a “lifter” for every pyramid heat, is a front for tosses and contributes as a tumbler. The repeat All-MEC selection helped set school records in Compulsory Pyramid and the Tumbling Event’s Quad Pass heat.<\/p>\n

Frostburg State junior Abbie Baker was voted MEC Athlete of the Year and Bobcat teammate Isabella Mongelluzzo won MEC Freshman of the Year honors. Fairmont State senior Payton Barnes was chosen as the MEC Specialist of the Year while Frostburg State’s Katie Nunley repeated as MEC Coach of the Year after leading the Bobcats to an unbeaten conference record and No. 6 national ranking.<\/p>\n

The Hilltoppers received the No. 3 seed for this weekend’s MEC Championships at Frostburg State. They will kick off tournament action Friday at 5 p.m. when they take on No. 2 seed and defending tournament champion Fairmont State in the first semifinal. The host Bobcats meet No. 4 seed Glenville State in the other semifinal, set for a 7:30 p.m. start.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s tournament schedule starts at 11 a.m. with the Individual Event Finals with the MEC Tournament championship match set for Saturday at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n
