IN THE RANKINGS
Boise State checked in at No. 18 in Road to Nationals this week (196.606), the program's eighth-consecutive week in the top 25, and for the second-straight week, the Broncos rank in the top 25 in each of the four events – 23rd on vault (49.069), 11th on bars (49.325), 25th on beam (49.138) and tied for 21st on floor (49.250).
Individually, senior Emily Muhlenhaupt ranks tied for third nationally on bars (9.950), while freshman Emily Lopez ranks tied for 23rd in the event (9.900). Freshman Courtney Blackson leads the Broncos on vault (T-70th; 9.850), sophomore Adriana Popp leads the Broncos on beam (T-74th; 9.869), and Popp and redshirt senior Maddi Nilson lead the squad on floor (T-59th; 9.881).
STACKING TOP 25 WINS
Boise State has five wins over top-25 opponents this season, earning victories over No. 13 Oregon State (Jan. 15), No. 14 BYU (Jan. 23) and No. 16 Southern Utah (Feb. 27), and a pair of wins over Utah State – at home, Feb. 6 (No. 23) and on the road, Feb. 13 (No. 21).
WINS AGAINST THE PAC-12
Boise State is 3-0 against the Pac-12 this season, having defeated then-No. 13 Oregon State in the 2021 opener in Corvallis, Ore., Jan. 15, and both Washington and Stanford in a tri-meet, March 7. This is the first time the Broncos have defeated at least three Pac-12 schools during the regular season since 1997, when Boise State knocked off Arizona, Arizona State, California and Washington.
WEEKLY HONORS
Senior Emily Muhlenhaupt has registered four MRGC Bars Specialist of the Week honors in 2021, while redshirt senior Maddi Nilson has a pair of MRGC Floor Specialist of the Week accolades. Senior Gabriela Cavinta (bars) and sophomore Adriana Popp (floor) each have one such honor this year.
ROAD TO 10.0
Senior Emily Muhlenhaupt became the third gymnast in Boise State history to record a 9.975 on bars, Feb. 1, 2019. She did it again twice during the 2020 season, and has one such score in 2021. Additionally, she scored a 9.950 in each of her first two routines this season. If she 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, Ciera 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.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Boise State is set to travel to Logan, Utah, next week for the 2021 MRGC Championships, and all four schools are currently ranked in the top 20. Boise State had won five-straight championships before the COVID-19 pandemic canceled last year's meet. Boise State, BYU, Southern Utah and Utah State are slated to begin the meet at 6 p.m., March 20 (Saturday).
