Heney competes in 13 heats across all six events for the Bulldogs and serves as a key player in each. Her performance in her first month of competition is highlighted by a pair of 9.75/10.00 scores in the open pyramid, a 9.65/10.00 in the compulsory pyramid, a 9.25/9.70 in the inversion pyramid, and a 9.45/10.00 in the 7-element acro. Other impressive scores include a 9.25/9.80 in the 5-element acro, an 8.50/9.00 in the 450 salto toss, and an 82.8/95.35 in the team event.

Heney has made an immediate impact on Wingate’s performance – so far this season she has set a new program record in sevent different heats, even going on to surpass her own records multiple meets in a row in the compulsory acro, 7-element acro, open pyramid, and auad tumbling heats. She adds substantial difficulty, resulting in higher start values throughout all six events, especially the acro and pyramid events. This added difficulty- coupled with her impressive execution- has played an invaluable role in Wingate’s performance this season, including their upsetting two higher-ranked conference teams this month.
