The 2009 team MVP, Roggensack closed the season ranked eighth in the Big Ten on vault and recorded 11 top-three marks, including four first-place finishes. As president of SAAC, Roggensack represented Michigan State at the NCAA National Leadership Conference, attended the Big Ten SAAC meetings, and sat on the board of the University Athletic Council. She was one of the key members of the Children's Miracle Network fund-raising committee and also the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, including serving as team captain in 2008.
