SERIES HISTORY
BYU leads the all-time series against Boise State, 37-32. Boise State was victorious in the previous meeting, the 2019 Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference Championships, March 22, held in Provo, Utah. The teams split last season's regular-season meetings, with the Broncos winning on the road (197.175-196.900), and the Cougars winning in Boise (197.000-196.325).
IN THE RANKINGS
Junior Emily Muhlenhaupt checked in at No. 3 nationally on bars in this week's release of Road to Nationals, the official ranking system of collegiate gymnastics. Muhlenhaupt's 9.942 average in the event trails only Kyla Ross (9.975) and Madison Kocian (9.950) of third-ranked UCLA.
Behind Muhlenhaupt, the Broncos' bars line-up ranks tied for 13th nationally (49.092).
Boise State's beam line-up is also ranked in the top-25 nationally, checking in this week at No. 18 (48.925). Individually, senior Isabella Amado leads the Broncos with an average score of 9.817 in the event.
The Broncos are led on vault (35th; 48.708) by junior Gabriela Bouza (9.817), and on floor (52nd; 48.267) by junior Tatum Bruden (9.792).
Boise State dropped out of the top 25 this week, but is still ranked No. 28 nationally (194.992).
THE ROAD TO 10.0
Junior Emily Muhlenhaupt put together a near-perfect 9.975 on bars this past week in San Jose, Calif., tying a school record that has been achieved six times. She also hit the mark in San Jose, Feb. 1, 2019, becoming just the third individual in school history to do it – Krystine Jacobsen did it three times, and Ciera Perkins did it once.
If Muhlenhaupt, who has also posted a 9.925 twice already this season, is able to notch a 10.0, it will be the first such score on bars in school history, and just the fifth on any apparatus all-time. Most recently, Perkins registered a 10.0 on vault, Jan. 30, 2015. It was the third perfect vault in school history, a mark also achieved by Julie Wagner (March 20, 1993) and Leslie Mott (March 23, 1996). On beam, Marie Lucas registered a 10.0, Feb. 27, 2002.
MUHLENHAUPT GARNERS WEEKLY HONORS
Following her performance on bars in a tri-meet against San Jose State and Seattle Pacific Jan. 26, Boise State junior Emily Muhlenhaupt was named Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference Specialist of the Week.
It was her second such accolade this season, and the fifth of her career, having earned the honor three times as a sophomore in 2019.
FIVE-STRAIGHT TITLES
The Broncos captured their fifth-consecutive Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference title this past season, the longest championship streak for a Boise State athletic program since the football team also won five-straight in the Western Athletic Conference from 2002-06. The only program with a longer streak in Boise State history was the wrestling team, which won seven-straight Big Sky Conference Championships from 1974-80.
12-STRAIGHT REGIONALS
Boise State made its 12th-consecutive NCAA Regional Championship appearance this past season. Competing in the Corvallis Regional in the new NCAA postseason format, the Broncos advanced to the Regional Final, finishing second in the opening session. The Broncos, which entered the regional ranked No. 12 – the highest ranking entering regionals in school history – finished fourth in the Regional Final.
AMERICA'S HIGHEST GPA
The Broncos combined for a team GPA of 3.77 this past academic year, the third time in four seasons the team finished with the highest grade-point average in the country amongst gymnastics programs, per the WCGA. Boise State also boasted the nation's highest GPA in both 2015-16 and 2017-18. The Broncos had the second-highest GPA in the country in 2016-17, and the third-highest in 2014-15. Boise State also boasted 13 WCGA Scholastic All-Americans.
TEAM CAPTAINS
Seniors Isabella Amado and Courtney McGregor were voted team captains for the 2020 season by their teammates. Each competed in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio, for Panama and New Zealand, respectively, and each plans to go to medical school following their competitive career. Both Amado and McGregor have been named Academic All-MRGC and WCGA Scholastic All-America in each of their three seasons with the Broncos.
