Anson (9.725) and Kent (9.675) rounded out the top five placing fourth and fifth. Iowa State's Kacey Oiness and Illinois' Kim Kruk tied for sixth place, posting 9.65.

Iowa State will travel to Iowa City to take on Iowa in its next meet on Jan. 28. A win for the Cyclone gymnasts will clinch the Hy-Vee Cy-Hawk series for ISU.
