WACO, Texas – Baylor acrobatics & tumbling’s Bayley Humphrey was the Specialist of the Week by the NCATA, the organization announced Wednesday.



Humphrey, a junior base from Chandler, Ariz., earned the accolade for her prowess in Pyramid.



She competed in all three Pyramid heats, all as a mid-level base.



Heat one, the inversion heat, has Jordan Gruendler as the top competing an extended handstand, which was dubbed the “Tower of Terror” by Gruendler. It earned two-straight perfect 10.0 scores against West Liberty and then Trine, earning a 9.85 against Presbyterian.



In heat two, the synchronized heat, the Bears earned a perfect 10.0 with Humphrey as one of the two mid-level bases on the twin pyramids. Her group has Kamryn Kitchens as the top.



Heat three, the open heat, also scored a 9.85, bringing the event score to 29.70. Humphrey is the mid-level base for Gruendler once again in this heat.



In addition to Humphrey’s accolade, Kitchens was named Honorable Mention Athlete of the Week and Savanna Cecil earned Honorable Mention Freshman of the Week.



BU returns to the mat on March 8 at Oregon at Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Ore. Start time is set for 8 p.m. CT and will be streamed on the Oregon Live Stream.
