FINAL RESULTS
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – The 17th-ranked Boise State gymnastics team went into the final rotation in position to advance to the regional final, but fell just shy, ultimately finishing fourth at the NCAA Salt Lake City Regional at the Maverik Center, Friday.
The Broncos, making their 13th-consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, were in second place after three events, but were forced to count a fall on beam and finished fourth. Host and sixth-ranked Utah won the meet with a 197.500, followed by No. 11 Arizona State (196.600), No. 21 Southern Utah (195.975) and the Broncos (195.825).
As has been the case all season, Boise State was led by its bars line-up. The squad's 49.375 is the highest score of the season, and the highest score at the regional championships in school history. Freshmen Emily Lopez and Talia Little each scored 9.900s, tied for the second-highest individual scores at regionals all-time, and tied for second in the second-round session.
All six bars competitors scored at least a 9.800, and each of the five counting scores were 9.850 or higher.
The Broncos' vault and floor line-ups also cracked the record books. On floor, the 49.100 is tied for the fifth-highest score at regionals in school history, while the 49.025 on vault ranks ninth.
Lopez, who tied for the team high on bars, also led the Broncos on beam. Her 9.850 is tied for the ninth-highest individual score at regionals all-time.
Fellow freshman Courtney Blackson led the Broncos on vault with a 9.875, tied for the sixth-highest individual score at regionals all-time and tied for second in the regional session.
Junior Samantha Smith and redshirt senior Maddi Nilson led the Broncos on floor with 9.850s.
