For her performances in last Sunday’s annual Squishmallows meet, Ball State senior gymnast Zoe Middleton has been named Pridemark Construction Student-Athlete of the Week.
Middleton earns the honor after winning the beam title in BSU’s season opener with a career-high tying score of 9.900. The effort currently stands at the best beam score in the MAC this season and ranks 21st nationally.
Middleton, who is working her way back from an injury which cut her 2025 season short, also tied for third on bars with a score of 9.825. Her effort helped the Cardinals earn a head-to-head non-conference victory over Western Michigan.
