University of the Cumberlands Athletics

Rector was named the female athlete of the week after helping the Patriots dance team capturing their first Mid-South Conference crown.  The dual-sport athlete had a busy week for UC, competing in a pair of conference championships.  Rector led the dance team to score an 85.17, their highest score of the season, to runaway with the title.  That performance scored 14 points better then their closest competition and was their best score of the season by 15 points.  For her efforts, Rector was named the inaugural MSC Dancer of the Year and was a First Team All-Conference selection.  The freshman followed that up by earning First Team All-Conference honors on the cheerleading side and helping the Patriots to a fourth-place finish at the event.
