IN THE RANKINGS
Following its highest score of the season, a 196.150 at BYU (Feb. 15), the Boise State gymnastics team moved up two spots in this week's Road to Nationals rankings (No. 35). Boise State is led by its bars line-up, which ranks 19th nationally with an average team score of 48.971. Junior Emily Muhlenhaupt ranks tied for sixth nationally in the event individually, averaging 9.904.
The Broncos' vault line-up ranks No. 32 (48.792), led individually by junior Gabriela Bouza (T45th; 9.8378); the beam squad ranks 38th nationally (48.617), led by sophomore Hope Masiado (101st; 9.787); and the floor line-up ranks 48th, led by junior Tatum Bruden (T127th; 9.813).
THE ROAD TO 10.0
Junior Emily Muhlenhaupt put together a near-perfect 9.975 on bars in San Jose, Calif. (Jan. 26), 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 recorded at least a 9.925 in five of six meets 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 earned a 9.950 against BYU, picking up her fourth bars title of the season and her fourth MRGC Specialist of the Week honor of 2020.
