At the Corky Classic, the Wildcats will be facing tough competition from teams such as Baylor, Georgia Tech, and TCU. The events will kick off on Friday at 7 p.m. ET with the Men’s Pole Vault, and continue on Saturday with the Women’s 200m “B” sections.

Associate head coach Dan Meske spoke highly of Untiedt, praising her competitiveness and vibrant personality. He believes she will be a fan favorite due to her exceptional skills on the court. Not only is she an elite backrow player, but she also has the ability to set, making her a versatile asset to the team.

The Wildcats are currently basking in the glory of their best season start to date. Last week, they achieved an impressive score of 197.475 against No. 12 Auburn, following their season opener at the Mean Girls Super 16 Gymnastics Championships in Las Vegas, where they posted a solid score of 196.775.

This will be the third consecutive home meet for the Cardinals as they kick off their season. Last weekend, they showcased their talents at the Rod McCravy Memorial.

Kentucky got back to winning with a 90-77 home win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs which improves the Cats to 3-1 in the conference.

Reeves has consistently impressed throughout the season, scoring in double figures in 15 out of 16 games. This game marked the eighth time he has scored at least 20 points, and his second consecutive game with such a performance.

However, North Carolina responded with a 13-5 burst, preventing Louisville from getting any closer than eight points for the rest of the game. “They are a team that could easily win a championship this year,” said Louisville head coach Kenny Payne. “We knew that coming in. I thought we played hard, I thought we fought, but there are no good efforts and moral victories with this program. I want to win games.”

Head coach Rodrigo da Silva expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, stating, “It’s great to start the season with two wins. I’m really proud of the guys and how they competed, especially the freshmen who were playing in their first matches today. Hopefully, we can build on today’s success and continue our momentum into the upcoming matches.”

Next up, the Big Blue Nation will be treated to Rockstar Night on February 9 when Kentucky takes on Missouri. Fans are encouraged to glam up and rock out at Rupp, as friendship bracelets will be handed out and exchanged. Additionally, the first 250 kids in attendance will receive heart-shaped rockstar sunglasses.
