A&T Wins Eight Individual National Titles; Team Championships Today
NCATA Nationals is divided into team competition and individual competition (in which women work in smaller units, not necessarily as individuals like the name implied). Baylor won eight of these individual events yesterday, including 5 Element Acro, Pyramid Heats 1 and 2, Tumbling Duo, Tumbling Trio, Tumbling Quad, and Tumbling Aerial. That's a lot of tumbling. Sophomore Kiara Nowlin was the most decorated competitor, helping win five of the titles. Nowlin, Shayla Moore, and Keegan Johnson were named All-Americans.
Team competition starts today, when Baylor goes against King at 1:45.

Baylor and K-State are both 5-10 in Big 12 play. It's a mediocrity battle, and sometimes those are the best kind to watch.

Iowa State, the Big 12 school without a baseball team, does have a softball team. Baylor is coming off of a very lucky brush with Sam Houston State, winning the first game 1-0 and heading down the path towards a loss in game two before being bailed out by a weather cancellation.
